nix-repos

Meta-project for the Nix-focused repositories under RogerNavelsaker/*.

This repository is the shared workspace entrypoint for the Nix layer: development shell, Flox environment, shared hooks, workspace file, and helper scripts that support the rest of the Nix repos. It complements, rather than replaces, the individual repositories listed below.

Repositories

Repository	Focus
nix-config	System and user configuration
nix-lib	Shared Nix helpers, modules, and library code
nix-repos	Workspace flake, dev shell, hooks, and repo-level scripts
nix-keys	Yubikey-backed encrypted key material
nix-secrets	SOPS-encrypted secrets repository

What Lives Here

• .flox/env/manifest.toml and .envrc for the preferred Flox + direnv shell
• flake.nix and shell.nix for the fallback Nix-built environment
• githooks.nix for repo-wide checks
• scripts/ for deployment and system utility tasks
• nix-repos.code-workspace for the multi-repo editor workspace

Intended Use

• Clone this repo as ~/Repositories/@nix-repos and keep the underlying repos as ignored child directories inside @nix-repos/
• Use Flox + direnv as the default shell entrypoint
• Use Flox for navigation, workspace status, update, and validation commands
• Keep shell.nix only for the Nix-built deployment helpers
• Use it as the top-level workspace when working across multiple nested Nix repositories
• Keep reusable logic in nix-lib and system-specific configuration in nix-config
• Bootstrap missing child repos with ./scripts/bootstrap
• Inspect workspace state with ./scripts/status or status-all
• Submodules are intentionally not used
