# Dotfiles Modules
This repository provides a collection of custom NixOS modules which are in use by me. My actual dotfiles are now private because there is no reason to have private host configurations public. The reusable/public configurations are contained within the modules provided in the repository.
## Usage
To use the modules, add the following flake input to your flake:
```nix
dotfiles-modules = {
url = "github:quirinecker/dotfiles-modules";
inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};
```
In case you want to update the input flakes this flake imports yourself (recommended), then you would need to declare the inputs yourself
and make this flake follow those inputs:
```nix
dotfiles-modules = {
url = "github:quirinecker/dotfiles-modules";
inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
inputs.zen-browser.follows = "zen-browser";
inputs.walker.follows = "walker";
};
zen-browser = {
url = "github:0xc000022070/zen-browser-flake";
inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};
walker = {
url = "github:abenz1267/walker";
inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};
```
Then import the modules in your home-manager configuration or add it to the modules of the home configuration:
```nix
imports = [
inputs.dotfiles-modules.homeManager
]
```
or
```nix
homeConfigurations.<username> = home-manager.lib.homeManagerConfiguration {
...
modules = [
inputs.dotfiles-modules.homeManager
];
};
```
**Note:** If you are new to NixOS, i might add a template repository for the modules which should be simmilar to my own homemanager config.
## Modules
The docs for the individual mdoules can be found [here](options.md).
## Development
I am using [nh](https://github.com/nix-community/nh) for my nixos configuration and this is alos how I develop/test the modules. Below is the command.
This works for me, because I have configured nh to know where my primary flake is located.
```bash
nh home switch -- --override-input dotfiles-modules path:$(pwd)
```
If you forked this repository and want to make some changes something along the lines of the second command could suit your needs.
```
home-manager switch --flake <path-to-your-local-flake> --override-input dotfiles-modules path:$(pwd)
```
**Note:** In the future I might add nixos modules too, in which case I will update the commands becuase the `home-manager` / `nh` command will only update the home config.
