The repo starts from one pinned nixpkgs, Nix's main package collection, then layers flake inputs and local overlays on top so packages and machines share the same foundation.

Daily Entry Point

home.nix is the main Home Manager guide in this site, and it builds on Home Manager itself to power shell tools, wrappers, and per-machine user environments.

📦

More Than Packages

Custom derivations, reusable modules, and higher-level overlays coexist here instead of being split across separate Nix repos.

🔐

Multi-Host Layering

NixOS and nix-darwin hosts share modules, constants, and package overlays while keeping machine-specific differences isolated.
