System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Builds a reproducible, scalable foundation for Nix-based system configuration and dotfiles management by guiding users through a structured bootstrap from a reference architecture.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase-driven workflow (Discovery, Identity, Bootstrap, Module Interview, Verification) to incrementally build and customize a dotfiles repo.
  • Template bootstrapping with nixos-unified to generate host configurations, per-user settings, and modular home-manager integration.
  • Supports per-machine overrides and modular expansion across packages, shells, editors, and tools for macOS and Linux environments.

Quick Start

Run the discover script to detect your environment, bootstrap a template with the bootstrap script, and then proceed through identity setup and modular configuration phases.
