My NIXOS config

To start:

1. create ./nixos/users/amr/password.txt and put the login password there.
   • Note: vim adds new lines, make sure to remove those
   • https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1050640/how-to-stop-vim-from-adding-a-newline-at-end-of-file
2. sync ssh keys
   • create ./home-manager/users/amr/ssh_keys/github and put the private key there (found in bitwarden).
   • create ./home-manager/users/amr/ssh_keys/gitlab_tu_dortmund and put the private key there (found in bitwarden).
3. sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake /etc/nixos#amr
4. nix-shell -p home-manager
5. home-manager switch --flake /etc/nixos#amr

Note!!

When using the git repo in the /etc/nixos directory, make sure to delete .git and .gitignore. Otherwise, the nix flake ignores files needed in the build process like the private keys and the user password added above.
