When possible, I try to make my tooling modular and operating system agnostic (aside from the constraint of being on a Unix-like operating system – I don’t really use Windows outside of gaming). This allows me to reap the benefits of Nix anywhere as long as I can run Nix.

Command line tools

I use Helix for all of my writing, and Tmux for productivity.

The following tools are visible in the above image:

Try out my Helix configuration on MacOS or Linux!

nix --extra-experimental-features "flakes nix-command" run "github:heywoodlh/nixos-configs?dir=flakes/helix"

Or my Fish/Tmux configuration:

# Fish
nix --extra-experimental-features "flakes nix-command" run "github:heywoodlh/nixos-configs?dir=flakes/fish"

# Tmux
nix --extra-experimental-features "flakes nix-command" run "github:heywoodlh/nixos-configs?dir=flakes/fish#tmux"
