Ask HN: How to Automate iPhone Setup?
Currently, every time I have a new iPhone (or do a hard reset), it takes me a few hours to download all the apps I use and sign into them, and apply my Settings.
PS I know about iCloud backup, but that’s not exactly what I want.

Nix Home Manager Option Search
Many command line programs keep their configurations somewhere under $HOME. These are often called "dotfiles".
If you ever use more than one machine, likely you'll want the same configuration available on all those machines.. so you'll want some way to copy them to a new machine.
Some dotfile managers are quite simple, like dotbot. https://github.com/anishathalye/dotbot
Home Manager from the Nix community is a bit more sophisticated. It allows for writing configurations in the Nix language, which is nice if you know/like Nix. (Nix is a powerful/expressive package manager. Nix is to apt-get what vim is to notepad).
