		hgl 8 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: How I like to install NixOS (declaratively) That's fair, having a remote shell environment that you feel comfortable to poke around is pretty great. For git, you commented "for checking out github.com/stapelberg/configfiles". I wonder if you sometimes install NixOS locally from the installer? If so, I can understand having those packages around can be very useful.

Yes, I use this same config snippet throughout my installs and haven’t gotten around to managing my home with Nix yet.

Later, I refactored this config snippet into a Flake that I include: https://github.com/stapelberg/nix/ …but that’s for a follow-up blog post :)
