Nix noob question
You can also just install flakes doing nix profile install . I wrote a tool to make it a bit easier, npt but it's completely optional. Once you install the packages with nix profile. Then in your repos you can use a flake with a devShell and run nix develop. Check https://flake.parts to write your flakes.

Nix journey part 2: replacing apt and brew
Me too! That's why I wrote the small wrapper on nix to install imperatively, the npt, which gets the job done, though an official alternative would be better. I understand nix side, but it's hard to break old habits, and not only that, it would be ideal if I can install nix at my parents, and let them use a simple tool with nix underneath. This means for me, focusing only on nix.

Dotfiles Management
I've just (literally a few hours ago) started a tool trying to follow those principles.
https://github.com/woile/npt
I still don't know if it's worth, I have to experiment a bit more with it
What are some alternatives?
When comparing dot-git and npt you can also consider the following projects:
dotfiles - dotfiles + debian setup
filetailor - Copy and modify plain text files between devices without templates
homies - My configuration files (.screenrc, .vimrc, .weechat, .bashrc, .gitconfig, etc)
configs - Dot-files among other configs
homer - The home directory management tool.
