Addons Branch
The addons branch collects optional tooling that is useful on many systems but should remain switchable.
Up: branches
Down: profile options
What this branch does
The branch reads my.profile.addons and conditionally contributes packages and aliases.
config.my.branches.addons = {
description = "Operational and quality-of-life add-ons.";
nixosModules = lib.flatten [
(lib.optional addonCfg.ergonomics.enable ({ pkgs, ... }: {
environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.nh ];
}))
];
};Why it exists
Some tools are not part of the base operating system. nh, nvd, deployment tooling, and binary cache clients are operational conveniences. Making them add-ons keeps the profile explicit.
Home Manager side
The branch also adds aliases when relevant.
home.shellAliases = {
ns = "nh os switch";
nt = "nh os test";
ndiff = "nvd diff /run/current-system result";
};
