How to use the installed configurations?

[redjax]

Thank you for this repository, it's been really helpful as I try to set up my own Nix/Home-Manager/Flakes configuration :)

I have not committed my code to git yet. I have created a repository with a similar structure to yours, modifying it a bit for my needs.

I've run the ./install.sh script, then home-manager switch, and I see the build output:

/nix/store/bizp26mgjfzm2ggifchjc5jk7mv3n753-home-manager-generation
Starting Home Manager activation
Activating checkFilesChanged
Activating checkLinkTargets
Activating writeBoundary
Activating installPackages
replacing old 'home-manager-path'
installing 'home-manager-path'
Activating linkGeneration
Cleaning up orphan links from /home/jack
No change so reusing latest profile generation 4
Creating home file links in /home/jack
Activating onFilesChange
Activating reloadSystemd

But I'm stuck on how to actually activate my environment now. It seems like it installed impossibly fast, like it was skipping all the packages I declared.

I am on a Debian Linux VM (I had to modify your uname script for this), using nix the CLI tool, not NixOS. I do have a NixOS install I will eventually try moving this over to.

Do you have any instructions for what to do after running home-manager switch?
