Install (Other OS)

Download

git clone https://github.com/yutkat/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles

Edit Configuration
```
vi flake.nix
# myHosts = {
```
Install nix (+flake +home-manager)
```
./install.sh
```

Setup (installing tools)

# Default user and hostname
home-manager switch --flake .#<hostname>

# If you override NIX_USERNAME
NIX_USERNAME=your_username home-manager switch --impure --flake .#<hostname>

Link dotfiles (managed by [dotfiles] in .config/mise/config.toml)

# First run: ~/.config/mise is not linked yet, so point mise at the repo config
mise trust .config/mise/config.toml
MISE_GLOBAL_CONFIG_FILE="$PWD/.config/mise/config.toml" mise dotfiles apply

# After the first run
mise dotfiles apply

Link sources are relative to the repo's .config/mise/, so any clone location works without extra configuration.
