# 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
### ✅ Implemented (Phase 3)
- **Hyprland Window Manager** - Complete configuration with Material You theming
- **foot Terminal** - Tokyo Night color scheme, JetBrainsMono Nerd Font
- **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
### 🔄 In Progress (Phase 4)
- **AI Integration** - Gemini and Ollama support
- **Advanced Widgets** - Overview with live previews, sidebars
- **Comprehensive Theming** - Dynamic Material You color generation
- **Quality of Life** - Screen corners, session management, cheatsheet
### 📅 Planned (Future Phases)
- **NixOS System Integration** - Full system-level configuration
- **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;
style = "illogical-impulse";
components = {
hyprland = true;
quickshell = true;
theming = false; # Phase 4
ai = false; # Phase 4
audio = true;
};
features = {
overview = true;
sidebar = false; # Phase 4
notifications = true;
mediaControls = true;
};
keybinds = {
modifier = "SUPER";
terminal = "foot";
};
};
}
```
### Keybinds
