### Getting Started
There are 3 main templates in this repository:
- `darwin` - The system configuration for the Darwin operating system (macOS)
- `system` - The system configuration for the Linux operating system
- `home-manager` - The configuration for the home-manager
#### With Darwin (macOS)
1. Run `nix --extra-experimental-features nix-command --extra-experimental-features flakes flake new -t git+https://git.auxolotl.org/auxolotl/templates#darwin NixFiles` in the terminal. This will setup the basic configuration for the system, this generate a configuration for you from the files located in the `darwin` directory.

2. The next step is to go into the `NixFiles` directory this can be achieved by running `cd NixFiles`.
3. Now we you need to read over the configuration files and make any changes that you see fit, some of these must include changing your username and hostname.

4. You now must rebuild this configuration we can do this with `nix run darwin -- switch --flake .#hostname` hostname should be substituted for your systems hostname.
5. After your first run you are now able to use the `darwin-rebuild switch --flake .` command to rebuild your system.
