I just thought this tutorial could genuinely be useful to some fellow ricers.
It explains not only the git status part of making a pure zsh prompt that looks like this:
Yes, nix is fantastic and I need to figure out the setup vs my current one. On a new system, would it be more straightforward to clone my repo, and then use nix, or just keep what I have? More of a rhetorical question there, I need to compare nix and homebrew based methods again (last time was like 2 years ago)
There’s also the issue of nix darwin creating a partition, which the enterprise security department didn’t like me to do last time. Which is ridiculous, I agree! Plus homebrew is “approved” while nix is an unknown to our enterprise IT. They often block stuff in the name of security, I’d hate for nix to get halfway through setup and break.
@bloopernova They’re using santa?
