With this change, running
home-manager edit
opens `$HOME_MANAGER_CONFIG` in `$EDITOR`.
This is mainly for convenience. Users should not have to remember the
exact location of the Home Manager configuration.
This avoids the uncontrollable nature of fetching the tarball as part
of the evaluation. Instead the user can decide when to update and also
perform rollbacks, if necessary.
Instead of using the hostname `%h`, which can be changed by the
~/.ssh/config file, use the commandline-given hostname `%n`.
This allows to alias a host with different hostnames, which then point
to different configurations. A common use-case for this is if you have
multiple accounts on github with each access to different private repos:
Host github.com
IdentitiesOnly yes
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
Host customer.github.com
IdentitiesOnly yes
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/customer
HostName github.com
Without this change, if a connection was established with the first
github.com alias, then the user would try to pull a repo from the second
account, ssh would re-use the SSH connection which doesn't have access
to that repository.
This commit adds the tmux program to Home Manager.
In addition to configuring tmux, a user may specify tmux plugins from
Nixpkgs. These can be included in the list of `plugins` and can either
be a package (all tmux plugins live under `nixpkgs.tmuxPlugins.*`), or
an object which includes the plugin and an `extraConfig`, which will
be run immediately after sourcing the tmux plugin.
Finally, this commit introduces two nested programs which may be
enabled which depend on tmux: tmuxp and tmuxinator. These do not have
the ability to be configured, although this may be a future
contribution.
This reverts the commits
- "alot: change msmtp default command"
8e798e4c28
- "astroid: init"
736e340bde
because they include changes that break some configurations and some
options that are misplaced.
The current documentation does not provide guidance to users on how
systemd units are defined in Home Manager. A user may expect the
configuration to be similar to NixOS, when it actually differs.
Fixes#418
This adds a new command to the home-manager shell script that allows
generations to be removed that are older than an given absolute or
relative date.
This allows users to manage the expiration of their home-manager
generations separately from their system or user profiles via
nix-collect-garbage. It is most important if the user desires to have
a convenient way to have different expiration times for Home Manager
generations than other system or user profiles.
