🚀 init

Requirements: curl, git, and go

🙈 Don't do this at home.

curl -fsLS \
  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scottames/dots/main/scripts/init.sh \

Optionally, pass additional params to chezmoi init

curl -fsSL \
  -O "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scottames/dots/main/scripts/init.sh" \
  && chmod +x init.sh && ./init.sh --branch <my_branch>

MacOS (Darwin)

nix flake is used to configure MacOS (Darwin) machines.

nix is not used for Linux machines

Install nix (lix)

• Note: flakes should be enabled (by default in lix)

curl -sSf -L https://install.lix.systems/lix | sh -s -- install

cd /path/to/dots
nix run .#install

• Note: .#install is unique to this flake (see bottom of flake.nix) that calls darwin-rebuild switch --flake .# under the hood
