nix-dotfiles

You can bootstrap a Nix dotfiles repository by running the discovery script to detect your environment, using the bootstrap script to generate host configurations, and then proceeding through identity setup and modular configuration phases.

The nixos-unified workflow is a phase-driven process for managing dotfiles that incrementally builds a reproducible repository through Discovery, Identity, Bootstrap, Module Interview, and Verification phases to configure macOS or Linux environments.

Yes, this Nix dotfiles workflow supports both macOS and Linux environments by generating host configurations and per-user settings using nixos-unified bootstrap templates and home-manager integration.

Yes, you can use home-manager for modular expansion across packages, shells, editors, and tools, allowing per-machine overrides and per-user settings within the nixos-unified dotfiles architecture.

Yes, you need to install both nix and omnix as dependencies before bootstrapping your Nix configuration, as the scripts rely on these tools to generate the template repository and manage the phase-driven workflow.

The best way to structure a Nix dotfiles repository for a team is to use a reference architecture with a phase-driven workflow, generating modular home-manager configurations and host overrides to ensure a reproducible and scalable foundation.
