# CLAUDE.md
This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
## Repository Purpose
This repository contains a Nix home-manager flake configuration for setting up a user environment on a Linux system. It's designed for user `tbingmann` and includes configurations for Nix itself, Bash, direnv, Git, and other utilities. The configuration ensures Nix is properly installed and configured with experimental features enabled.
## Code Architecture
- **flake.nix**: The main Nix flake configuration file that defines inputs (dependencies) and outputs. It sets up the home-manager configuration for user `tbingmann`.
- **home.nix**: Contains the actual home-manager configuration including:
- User information
- Nix installation and configuration with flakes support
- Package installations
- Bash configuration and customizations with Nix PATH setup
- Direnv setup
- Git configuration
## Common Commands
### Applying Configuration Changes
After making changes to the configuration:
```bash
# If home-manager is not installed
nix run github:nix-community/home-manager/release-25.05 -- switch --flake .#tbingmann
# If home-manager is installed
home-manager switch --flake .#tbingmann
```
### Direct Installation from Git Repository
```bash
# If home-manager is not installed
nix --no-write-lock-file run github:nix-community/home-manager/release-25.05 -- switch --flake 'git+https://g.t1.xyz/tb/nix-ebay-home.git#tbingmann'
# If home-manager is installed
home-manager --no-write-lock-file switch --flake 'git+https://g.t1.xyz/tb/nix-ebay-home.git#tbingmann'
```
### Checking Configuration Validity
To validate configuration changes without applying them:
```bash
home-manager build --flake .#tbingmann
```
### Debugging Issues
For more detailed information when troubleshooting:
```bash
home-manager switch --flake .#tbingmann --debug
```
## Configuration Guidelines
When modifying this repository:
1. Update packages in the `home.packages` section of `home.nix`
2. Customize Bash settings in the `programs.bash` section
3. Add or modify program configurations under the `programs` attribute
4. Adjust Nix configuration in the `nix` section if needed
5. Ensure the username (`tbingmann`) is consistent throughout the configuration
## Nix Configuration Details
The configuration includes:
1. **Installation of Nix packages**: The `nix` package itself, `nixpkgs-fmt`, and `nix-direnv`
2. **Nix experimental features**: Enables both `nix-command` and `flakes` by default
3. **PATH configuration**: Sets up proper Nix paths in the Bash environment
4. **direnv integration**: Configured to work with Nix for project-specific environments
