+# dots-hyprland for NixOS
+
+A NixOS adaptation of [end-4's dots-hyprland](https://github.com/end-4/dots-hyprland) desktop environment, bringing the beautiful "illogical-impulse" style to NixOS with full declarative configuration.
+
+## 🎯 Project Status: Phase 3 Complete ✅
+
+**Current Achievement: Core Desktop Environment Functional**
+
+- ✅ **Quickshell Integration** - Official flake support resolved
+- ✅ **Hyprland Configuration** - Complete window manager setup with Material You theming
+- ✅ **Essential Applications** - foot terminal, fuzzel launcher, nautilus file manager
+- ✅ **Home Manager Integration** - Fully declarative configuration
+- ✅ **Package Management** - All dependencies properly integrated
+- ✅ **Development Environment** - Ready for Phase 4 advanced features
+
+## 🚀 Quick Start
+
+### Prerequisites
+- NixOS with flakes enabled
+- Home Manager (optional but recommended)
+
+### Installation
+
+```bash
+# Clone the repository
+git clone <repository-url>
+cd dots-hyprland-nixos
+
+# Build and activate Home Manager configuration
+nix build .#homeConfigurations.example.activationPackage
+./result/activate
+
+# Or use with your existing Home Manager setup
+# Add to your flake inputs:
+# dots-hyprland.url = "github:your-org/dots-hyprland-nixos";
+```
+
+### Development
+
+```bash
+# Enter development environment
+nix develop
+
+# Available development tools:
+# - update-flake: Manage flake inputs and GitHub synchronization
+# - compare-modes: Compare declarative vs writable configuration modes
+# - test-python-env: Test Python virtual environment setup
+# - test-quickshell: Test quickshell configuration
+
+# Flake management examples:
+update-flake status           # Show current flake status
+update-flake update           # Update all flake inputs
+update-flake update-source    # Update only dots-hyprland source
+update-flake verify           # Test that configurations build
+update-flake help             # Show all available options
+```
+
+## 📋 Features

+- **fuzzel Launcher** - Material You themed application launcher
+- **Essential Keybinds** - All core window management and application shortcuts
+- **Package Integration** - Declarative package management through Nix
+- **Home Manager Support** - Full integration with Home Manager modules

+- **Testing & Validation** - Comprehensive test suite
+- **Community & Maintenance** - Documentation, contribution guidelines
+
+## 🔄 Flake Management
+
+The project includes a comprehensive flake management utility for keeping your configuration synchronized with GitHub:
+
+### Quick Commands
+
+```bash
+# Check current status
+update-flake status
+
+# Update all flake inputs
+update-flake update
+
+# Update only dots-hyprland source
+update-flake update-source
+
+# Verify configurations build
+update-flake verify
+
+# Update and verify in one command
+update-flake update --auto-verify
+```
+
+### Advanced Usage
+
+```bash
+# Pin to a specific commit
+update-flake pin abc123def
+
+# Switch to tracking a different branch
+update-flake branch main
+
+# Dry run to see what would happen
+update-flake update --dry-run
+```
+
+The utility automatically detects synchronization status and provides clear feedback about your flake's relationship to the GitHub repository.
+
+## 🎨 Configuration
+
+### Basic Configuration
+
+```nix
+{
+  programs.dots-hyprland = {
+    enable = true;

+    components = {
+      hyprland = true;
+      quickshell = true;
+      theming = false;  # Phase 4
+      ai = false;       # Phase 4
+      audio = true;
+    };
+

+    
+    keybinds = {
+      modifier = "SUPER";
+      terminal = "foot";
+    };
+  };
+}
+```
+
+### Keybinds
+
+| Key Combination | Action |

+              ## Setup
+              
+              Run the setup script to copy/symlink these files to your ~/.config directory:
+              
+              ```bash
+              ~/.local/bin/${cfg.setupScript}
+              ```
+              
+              ## Mode: ${if cfg.symlinkMode then "Symlink" else "Copy"}
+              
+              ${if cfg.symlinkMode then ''
+              **Symlink Mode**: Files will be symlinked to ~/.config/
+              - Changes to files in staging will reflect immediately
+              - Useful for development and testing
+              - Files remain managed by Home Manager
+              '' else ''
+              **Copy Mode**: Files will be copied to ~/.config/
+              - You can modify the copied files freely
+              - Changes won't affect the staging area
+              - Full user control over configuration
+              ''}
+              
+              ## Status
+              
+              Check the current status with:
+

+              
+              ## Files Staged

+              - quickshell/ - Widget system configuration
+              - hypr/ - Hyprland window manager configuration

+              - .local/share/konsole/ - Konsole profiles
+              
+              ## Python Environment
+              
+              The Python virtual environment is managed separately and will be created at:
+              `~/.local/state/quickshell/.venv`
