## How It Works
* **`default.nix`**
Importing the other Modules.
* **`nyx-tool.nix`**
Sets up shell visuals (e.g. banners) and Zsh helpers.
* **`nyx-rebuild.nix`**
Enhances `nixos-rebuild` with:
* Git auto-push support
* Optional code formatting before builds
* Rebuild logging
* **`nyx-cleanup.nix`**
Automates system cleanup and tracks logs (optionally pushes to GitHub).
* **`nyx-tui.nix`**
Making a TUI for the other tools.
---
## Quick Start
### 1. Add Nyx to your Flake
```nix
# flake.nix
{
inputs.nyx.url = "github:Peritia-System/Nyx-Tools";
outputs = inputs @ { nixpkgs, nyx, ... }:
{
nixosConfigurations.HOSTNAME = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
modules = [ ./configuration.nix ];
};
};
}
```
### 2. Import Nyx into Home Manager
```nix
# home.nix
{
config,
inputs,
...
}:
{
imports = [
inputs.nyx.homeManagerModules.default
];
}
```
### 3. Enable Desired Modules
```nix
{
nyx = {
enable = true;
inherit username nixDirectory;
logDir = "/home/${username}/.nyx/logs";
autoPush = false;
nyx-rebuild = {
enable = true;
editor = "nvim";
formatter = "alejandra";
enableAlias = false;
startEditor = false;
};
nyx-cleanup = {
enable = true;
keepGenerations = 5;
enableAlias = false;
};
nyx-tool = {
enable = true;
};
nyx-tui = {
enable = true;
enableAlias = false;
};
};
}
```
> ⚠️ **Note**: `nixDirectory` must be a **full path** to your flake repo (e.g., `/home/${username}/NixOS/Nyx-Tools`).
See `other/example/example-home.nix` for a working example.
---
## Usage
```bash
# to just do a simple rebuild you can:
nyx-rebuild
# to see the available options:
$ nyx-rebuild -h
nyx-rebuild [--repair] [--update]
--repair Stage & commit the nix_dir with "rebuild - repair <timestamp>"
and remove any unfinished logs (Current-Error*.txt and rebuild-*.log
that are not final nixos-gen_* logs).
--update Before rebuilding, update the flake in nix_dir using:
nix flake update
# to cleanup old configurations:
nyx-cleanup
# And to see the other options:
nyx-cleanup -h
nyx-cleanup [--dry-run] [--keep N]
Prunes old *system* generations, runs GC (and store optimise), and tidies logs.
Options:
--dry-run Show actions without doing them.
--keep N Override configured generations to keep (default: 5).
-h, --help Show this help.
# For nyx-tui run simply
nyx-tui
# or for a small startup animation
nyx-tui --pretty
```

# Nyx: NixOS System Management Toolkit
Nyx — NixOS System Management Toolkit
**Nyx** is a modular toolkit that simplifies and automates various NixOS system management tasks, from enhanced rebuilds to cleanup and shell customization.
**Nyx** is a modular toolkit that makes managing NixOS easier — faster rebuilds, automated cleanup, shell customization, and an optional TUI interface.
---
## Features
* **Enhanced NixOS Rebuilds** — via `nyx-rebuild.nix`
* **Automated System Cleanup** — via `nyx-cleanup.nix`
* **Shell Customization & Tooling** — banners and helpers via `nyx-tool.nix`
* **All-in-One Integration** — enable everything with a single import: `nyx.nix`
* **Enhanced Rebuilds** — Git auto-push, optional formatting, rebuild logs
* **Automated Cleanup** — prune old generations, GC, optimize store
* **Shell Tools** — banners, helpers, aliases
* **TUI Interface** — simple, pretty menu for all Nyx tools
* **One Import to Enable All**`nyx.nix`
