# My nix-darwin Configuration # My nix-darwin Configuration
This repo is meant to be a declarative setup for new macOS devices, specifically focused on the application installs. All GUI applications will be handled by homebrew and some brews or CLI tools. The more stable and maintained CLI tools are installed via nixpkgs. This repo is meant to be a declarative setup for new macOS devices, specifically focused on the application installs.

## Installation
1. Clone this repo onto the machine (probably fastest via usb) or install `tea` seperatly and run `tea clone https://git.briannelson.dev/brian/nix-darwin.git`
2. `cd` into the repo
3. Run `./install.sh` this will run a bash script that handles all of the installation of nix, file renaming and copying the files to the correct directory.
## Homebrew ## Homebrew
I like using homebrew as my package manager for most apps as its really easy and convienent to run `brew upgrade` to update all apps in 1 go. I love nix for many other reasons but some of the packages on the stable branch aren't always up-to-date and take a while to update.
