+# VoidFiles
+Full Nixos/Hyprland/Nvim setup that I daily drive.
+
+## Installing
+1. Install nixos using default config (If you are an existing user then skip this step)
+
+I recommend using the graphical installer and just installing KDE or something, and reccomend using the username user01
+If you have already decided which config to use, you can also set your hostname accordingly, to either mobile02 or HACKSTATION
+
+2. Clone this repo to `~/.dotfiles` (required for doot to work)
+You will probably have to install/ use a nix shell for git, but you should only need it for this step (`nix shell -p git`)
+
+```
+git clone https://git.voidarc.co.uk/voidarc/config ~/.dotfiles --recurse-submodules
+```
+
+3. Use doot to put config files in place BEFORE BUILDING CONFIG
+
+> [!CAUTION]
+> IF YOU HAVE AN EXISTING CONFIG PLEASE BACK UP YOUR HOME DIRECTORY BEFORE RUNNING DOOT!!!
+> I would reccomend making a new user called user01 and running from there.
+> Nixos WILL delete any user account not in the config from passwd, but any existing files in the home directory will remain available.
+> If you wish to use another user, add their config to common.nix
+
+Run the command to get doot for nixos. Use the official repo or mine, either works.
+```
+nix shell github:voidarclabs/nixos.doot
+```
+Once you are in the shell, use the `doot` or `doot install` command to link the dotfiles to their proper locations
+If there are any existing dotfiles, that doot flags, replace or keep them at your own discression. Keep in mind that
+the "adopt" option will write over the files in the git repo. This is reversible by running `git restore .`, which
+resets all unstaged changes back to the latest commit. For more info please refer to `man git-restore`.
+This step is necessary because the flake for nvim has to exist for the config to build correctly.
+
+4. Build the system config from flake
+
+I use HACKSTATION on my main pc, with mobile02 on my laptop.
+Mobile02 is reccomended for systems that only have 1 monitor, or people who want fewer packages. HACKSTATION has no
+extra hyprland config for unknown monitors, so YMMV. Here is the command for mobile02. The output name is not case sensitive,
+but conventionally lowercase
+```
+sudo nixos-rebuild switch --impure --flake ~/.dotfiles/.nixos#mobile02
+```
+If you have set your hostname, you can enter `zsh` and simply type `nrs`, which will rebuild the system according to your hostname.
+
+5. Reboot
+
+If all has gone well, you should be able to reboot and enter hyprland with my config. The mobile02 config will have an SDDM login screen,
+but HACKSTATION logs in automatically.
+
+## Usage
+For Hyprland and nvim, see the relevant repos.
+The only custom behaviour in this repo is the `.zshrc` aliases, that can be found there.
+Key aliases:
+```
+v - opens nvim in the current directory
+lg - opens lazygit in the current directory
+nrs - rebuilds system (see .zshrc-local in either laptop-files or pc-files)
+vinix - opens nvim in ~/.dotfiles/.nixos
+nsh - shorthand for nix shell, just put packages on the end
+```
