Do you manage a `.zshrc`? `.vimrc`? `tmux.conf`? Do you have dozens of configuration files that you manage in a git repo? Or maybe don't backup at all? Do you also have a bunch of command line utilities that you forget you installed? Or don't remember why you installed them?
Over the years I have collected a number of dotfiles that I have shared across both Linux and macOS machines. I have tried several different ways to manage them, including [bare git repos](https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/dotfiles) and utilities such as [GNU Stow](https://www.gnu.org/software/stow/). These solutions work well enough, but I have since found what I would consider a much better solution for organizing user configuration: [home-manager](https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager).
## What is nix and why is it required?
