10:31 <nikivi> does anyone have a guide on how I can configure zsh plugins with nix on macOS?

10:55 <LnL> just set fpath?

10:56 <nikivi> LnL what do you mean?

10:57 <nikivi> I am currently using https://github.com/getantibody/antibody

10:57 <nikivi> and it works well but I dont want to install antibody just to get my zsh plugins working

10:57 <nikivi> I was thinking of either using nix-darwing or home manager

10:57 <LnL> https://github.com/LnL7/nix-darwin/blob/072d2e75abf9a26ab8dc7eecf94e8b5966689943/modules/programs/zsh/default.nix#L178

10:57 <nikivi> but reading README of home manager, there is not many docs on macOS as its NixOS focused

10:57 <nikivi> nix-darwin maybe does what I want

10:58 <nikivi> https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/dotfiles/blob/master/zsh/plugins.txt

10:58 <nikivi> I basically want to have something like this. List plugins I want installed and have it work

10:59 <LnL> oh, like actual plugins

11:00 <nikivi> yeah

11:00 <LnL> guess you could make an expression that puts the relevant files in $out/share/zsh/site-functions

11:01 <nikivi> will try that, thanks

11:01 <nikivi> I will also be trying to get away from using https://github.com/anishathalye/dotbot

11:02 <nikivi> to using nix-darwin or home manager (not fully sure what the difference between them is)

11:03 <LnL> nix-darwin is like nixos, it configures launchd, /etc, users, ... while home-manager configures files in home, etc.

11:04 <nikivi> so its fine to use nix-darwin and home-manager together

11:04 <LnL> sure, some people do

11:04 <nikivi> or nix-darwin can configure home files well too

11:04 <nikivi> one thing I am not sure I understand full is that it seems people try to configure everything with Nix

11:05 <nikivi> so they for example embed things like "alias a=exa" inside nix too

11:05 <nikivi> and not have a .zsh file with bunch of things that you then source from nix or something

11:05 <nikivi> it seems that it adds some unnecessary weigth

11:05 <nikivi> weight*

11:07 <LnL> I missuse nix-darwin for a some dotfiles like ~/.gitconfig, so you can but it's not supported properly

11:09 <LnL> it's nice if you have conditionals for enabling/overriding certain values

12:05 <nikivi> on darwin, how you you usually install packages from nixpkgs

12:05 <nikivi> ni(){

12:05 <nikivi> nix-env -iA nixpkgs."$1"

12:05 <nikivi> nix-env -i

12:05 <nikivi> }

12:05 <nikivi> I had this zsh func I was using: nix-env -iA nixpkgs."$1"

12:06 <nikivi> where as on https://nixos.org/nixos/packages.html#, the instructions always prefix it with nixos

12:06 <nikivi> I also thought I could just use: nix-env -i <pkg-name>

12:07 <nikivi> for example I want to install https://nixos.org/nixos/packages.html#gcloud on macOS

12:07 <nikivi> how do I know from which channel I have to install it from so it works on mac

12:57 nix-build has quit [Remote host closed the connection]

12:58 <LnL> I use nix-env -f '<nixpkgs>' -iA "$@" which works the same on both nixos and other platforms

12:59 <nikivi> can you explain please how it differs from mine?

12:59 <nikivi> I am not sure I fully get -f '<nixpkgs>' part

13:22 <LnL> nix-env is weird and uses channel names instead of NIX_PATH entries
