I am learning nix and NixOS at an unprecedented pace. And by that, I mean I'm pretty sure that no human being could possibly absorb these concepts slower than I can and do.

I've got an /etc/nixos that I'm pretty happy with. All my machines get a very similar env. Love it

Do you have a CI/CD pipeline targeting all the systems with a base config and target-specific host configs? That sounds like the dream.

I wish there was more thoughtful integration of git into the nixos-rebuild workflow; like, to achieve commits in lockstep with NixOS generations and some sort of association between the commit and the generation hashes? I guess people might do this with hooks?

Not CI/CD but a cron job that runs a script that git pulls my nixos config from my git server and does a nixos-rebuild switch.

Then I also have syncthing syncing my home dir for all app configs/states across machines. It feels damn close to using the same computer when I switch from my laptop to my desktop.

Though I do have a base config and then specific host configs that automatically switch based on the hostname.
