Nix config

Nix

Setup for macOS to install all things needed to be used as a development machine. No homebrew needed! Link to my personal config

Reinstalling packages

nix run nix-darwin -- switch --flake ~/.config/nix-darwin

Updating packages

nix flake update

Formatting nix files

nixpkgs-fmt *.nix

Cargo binaries in shell

By default there is no way to install cargo packages from only a url. Example workaround: Add the new package and make up a sha256 hash for git and cargo, rerun install and replace with the actual hash.

(pkgs.callPackage
  (pkgs.fetchFromGitHub {
    owner = "enricozb";
    repo = "symbol-search.kak";
    rev = "v0.4.3";
    sha256 = "sha256-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA";
  })
  { }
)
