TymekDev's dotfiles

Hey 👋 This repo holds config files for the tools that I use. It's mostly Nix-pilled as of March 2026.

Explore, get inspired, and beware, because here be dragons! If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me at tymek.makowski@gmail.com, enjoy!

Setup

Caution

I haven't tried the MacOS setup on a clean OS yet.

MacOS (with nix-darwin)

1. Run:

   xcode-select --install

2. Install Lix:

   curl -sSf -L https://install.lix.systems/lix | sh -s -- install

3. Install brew:

   /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

4. Clone the repo:

   git clone https://codeberg.org/TymekDev/dotfiles ~/personal/dotfiles
   git -C ~/personal/dotfiles remote set-url origin ssh://git@codeberg.org/TymekDev/dotfiles.git

5. Verify the username and uid in the flake are the same as the id command reports
6. Rebuild the system from the flake

   sudo nix run nix-darwin/master#darwin-rebuild -- switch --flake ~/personal/dotfiles

7. Add WezTerm to "Input Monitoring" under "Privacy & Security". Rebuild again to set keyboard remaps:

   task --taskfile ~/personal/dotfiles/Taskfile.yml rebuild

8. Install Neovim spell files
   • Note: Enable NetRW and disable oil.nvim to download spell files (see stevearc/oil.nvim#163)

NixOS

Note: This uses the sffpc host. Adjust the host, paths, and URIs accordingly if needed.

1. Download the minimal NixOS ISO image and create a bootable USB
2. Run the live version from the USB
3. Use disko with nix/disko/sffpc.nix to partition the disk:
   1. Make sure that the device value in nix/disko/sffpc.nix is up to date
   2. Run:

      curl -o /tmp/disko.nix https://codeberg.org/TymekDev/dotfiles/raw/branch/main/nix/machines/sffpc/disko.nix
      sudo nix --experimental-features "nix-command flakes" run github:nix-community/disko/latest -- --mode destroy,format,mount /tmp/disko.nix

   3. Verify that mount | grep /mnt shows new entries for /mnt and /mnt/boot
4. (Only if setting up a new machine) Retrieve hardware-configuration.nix:
   1. Run:

      sudo nixos-generate-config --no-filesystems --root /mnt

   2. Add /mnt/etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix to this repository
   3. Update flake.nix to include the added file
   4. Push the updated version
5. Install the system:

   sudo nixos-install --root /mnt --flake git+https://codeberg.org/TymekDev/dotfiles#sffpc --no-write-lock-file

6. Set a password for users defined in the configuration:

   sudo nixos-enter --root /mnt -c "passwd tymek"

Extending

To rebuild the system after making changes run:

nixos-rebuild switch --use-remote-sudo --flake .

Note: If you see an error that a file is missing, then make sure it is tracked by git. Flakes are git-aware and the error doesn't suggest that this might be the issue.

GitHub Codespace

Run the installation script:

bash <(curl -L https://codeberg.org/TymekDev/dotfiles/raw/branch/main/scripts/codespace-install.sh)

Or install manually:

1. Install Nix:

   NIX_CONFIG="experimental-features = flakes nix-command
   access-tokens = github.com=$GITHUB_TOKEN
   use-xdg-base-directories = true" \
     sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --no-daemon

2. Source the shell integration:

   .  ~/.local/state/nix/profiles/profile/etc/profile.d/nix.sh

3. Build the home-manager configuration:

   NIX_CONFIG="experimental-features = flakes nix-command
   access-tokens = github.com=$GITHUB_TOKEN
   use-xdg-base-directories = true" \
     nix run github:nix-community/home-manager -- \
     switch --flake "git+https://code.tymek.dev/TymekDev/dotfiles#$(id -un)"

   • Note: if the latest version doesn't get fetched after a recent push, then try adding the --refresh flag
   • Note: Subsequent rebuilds can be done with the installed nix-codespace rebuild command

4. Set the shell:

   sudo chsh "$(id -un)" --shell "/home/$(id -un)/.local/state/nix/profile/bin/fish"

5. Install Neovim plugins:

   nvim --headless '+lua vim.pack.update({}, { version = "offline", target = "lockfile" })' '+qa'
   nvim --headless '+lua require("nvim-treesitter").install({ "r", "markdown", "rnoweb", "yaml", }):wait(3 * 60 * 1000)' '+qa'
