My home-manager-based config.

To get started on a new server:

1. Install nix
2. Back up and remove your existing .emacs.d, .bashrc, and .profile
3. Clone this repository.
4. Run nix-build switch.nix -A desktop -o switch or nix-build switch.nix -A server -o switch.
5. Run ./switch.

If you build it this way, you can edit the configuration and just re-run switch to build and switch to a new profile. Also, several files such as the emacs custom-file are linked directly to their editable versions so you can edit them directly without rebuilding each time.

To copy a config to another server without having to check out the repository there:

1. Add yourself to trusted-users in nix.conf on the server.
2. Run ./copy.sh <hostname>.
3. Log into the server and run ./switch.

Using defs.nix for other things
