.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||
|
||||
This command updates the user environment so that it corresponds to the configuration specified in
|
||||
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/home-manager/home.nix
|
||||
or
|
||||
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/home-manager/flake.nix.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
All operations using this tool expects a sub-command that indicates the operation to perform. It must be one of
|
||||
.Pp

.Bl -tag -width Ds

|
||||

|
||||
.RS 4

||||
Build configuration into a result directory.
|
||||
.RE
|
||||
|
||||
.It Cm init Op Fl -switch Op Ar dir
|
||||
.RS 14
|
||||
Generates an initial home.nix file for the current user. If Nix flakes are
|
||||
enabled, then this command also generates a flake.nix file.
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
If a path
|
||||
.Ar dir
|
||||
is given then the configuration will be generated in that directory. Otherwise, the configuration will be generated in
|
||||
~/.config/home-manager. The output directory will be created if it does not exist.
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
If the
|
||||
.Fl -switch
|
||||
option is given, then the generated configuration is activated.
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
Note, this command will not overwrite any existing files. It is therefore safe to initialize a configuration, edit it, and then re-run the
|
||||
.Cm init
|
||||
command with
|
||||
.Fl -switch
|
||||
enabled to activate the configuration.
