  • What's the best way to configure neovim with an existing config?
    1 project | /r/NixOS | 28 Aug 2022
    To manage plugins I simply use nix to install them, but the problem here is that not all the plugins I use are in nixpkgs. I also don't want to hardcode their SHA and revision-id into my config and manage it myself. Keeping that in mind, the solution I used for it was to create a flake that provides an overlay for these plugins that are missing. Then I simply use this flake as an input to my system and home configuration and use the overlay it provides.
  • Neovim + home-manager + custom init.vim?
    4 projects | /r/NixOS | 21 Apr 2021
    With that said I manage all the packages through nix itself. e.g. Neovim packages managed through home-manager.
  • Question about flakes and home-manager
    3 projects | /r/NixOS | 14 Apr 2021
    I have a directory called .dotfiles that is in the home directory i.e ~/.dotfiles which is tracked here. Now there are two directories system and users which contain the system configuration and home-manager configuration.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing nixos and dotfiles you can also consider the following projects:

senixos - My NixOS dofiles: sway, neovim, zsh, alacritty

dotfiles - Configuration files for different things (bash, awesome, git...) that I wanna share between machines

dotfiles - not intended to be a reference
