❄️ Nix-Based Dots

A modular, "semi-dendritic" Nix configuration designed for simplicity, extensibility, and ease-of-use that gives me everything, everywhere, all at once.

Usage

Instead of hunting through nested folders to enable a tool, everything is controlled via a central nots.features block. It’s designed to be write-once, toggle-anywhere.

• Every app (Kitty, Zsh, Tmux) is its own self-contained module.
• You can enable entire suites of tools or specific configs with simple booleans or options you define.
• Shared logic lives in modules/shared, while platform-specific quirks are handled in modules/darwin or modules/wsl.

To define a new machine, simply import the relevant platform module and flip the switches you need in your host file:

{ pkgs, ... }:
{
  imports = [
    ../../modules/shared
    ../../modules/darwin
  ];

  # Choose your features
  nots.features = {
    # System & GUI Settings
    getStdCliPkgs = true;
    getStdGuiPkgs = true;

    # App Modules (Custom Configs)
    vim.enable    = true;
    tmux.enable   = true;
    zsh.enable    = true;
    kitty.enable  = true;
    vscode.enable = true;

    # One-off Additions
    extraPackages = with pkgs; [
      obsidian
      rectangle
    ];
  };
}

Reuse in Other Repos

This flake exports reusable modules so other repos can consume your dotfiles like a feature library.

# consumer flake.nix
{
  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixpkgs-unstable";
    ooj-dots.url = "github:YOUR_USER/dots";
  };

  outputs = { nixpkgs, ooj-dots, ... }: {
    nixosConfigurations.my-host = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
      system = "x86_64-linux";
      modules = [
        ooj-dots.nixosModules.nots
        ({ pkgs, ... }: {
          nots.username = "myuser";
          nots.features = {
            getStdCliPkgs = true;
            vim.enable = true;
            tmux.enable = true;
            zsh.enable = true;
          };
        })
      ];
      specialArgs = {
        inherit (ooj-dots.inputs) nix-vscode-extensions;
      };
    };
  };
}

Exported module entry points:

• nixosModules.nots
• darwinModules.nots
• nixosModules.shared
• darwinModules.shared

Compatibility note: existing features.* assignments still work via an internal alias, but nots.features.* is now the preferred API.

Installation

1. Clone this repo.
2. Define your host in the flake, copying the structure from the other ones.
3. Using the included CLI tools, you can just hit rebuild.
