  • nix

    Nix, the purely functional package manager

    Basically, I manage my MBP with Nix, particularly nix-darwin and home-manager. The setup.sh script bootstraps everything, including installing Nix and enabling my various configurations. Dotfiles are managed with chezmoi. I test the script against macOS VMs to verify it works.

  • dev-setup

    Setup files for my personal development environment (by jmgilman)

    This may not be the direction you want to go, but I figured I'd share my backup/restore method for my MacBook Pro M1 (Max). Basically, I take the "rebuild it" over the "restore it" method. You can see the main repo here.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • nix-darwin

    nix modules for darwin

    Basically, I manage my MBP with Nix, particularly nix-darwin and home-manager. The setup.sh script bootstraps everything, including installing Nix and enabling my various configurations. Dotfiles are managed with chezmoi. I test the script against macOS VMs to verify it works.

  • Home Manager using Nix

    Manage a user environment using Nix [maintainer=@rycee]

  • gopass

    The slightly more awesome standard unix password manager for teams

    I manage secrets, including SSH keys, using gopass. It's not my primary password store (I use LastPass since I have a large family to share with), but I use it to keep all of my development secrets (i.e. keys, tokens, etc.).

  • pass-import

    A pass extension for importing data from most existing password managers

    AFAIK, pass-import is compatible with gopass (they use the same database format). That supports pretty much every password manager known to mankind :)
