Dendritic setup
I'll be moving generic/reusable configurations into Dennix and dogfooding them in here.
My flake.nix file serves mainly for listing dependencies and adding nix config and caches.
The entrypoint is default.nix which simply uses vic/import-tree to load all ./modules/**/*.nix flake-parts modules.
Hosts are flake exposed at osConfigurations.nix. Each host instance loads a modules.nixos.${hostname} or modules.darwin.${hostname} and I also have base modules for each type of host modules.nixos.wsl, modules.nixos.nixos and modules.darwin.darwin. These can be found under the features directory. Each host particular configuration also mixins some other features as needed.
Most host include their respective (darwin/nixos) vic user configuration module.
My home-managed features are under the vic directory and they
are mixed automatically under the a single modules.homeManager.vic, flake exposed by vic/home.nix.
There's an action that builds each host independently pusing builds at vix cachix. so that evaluating later locally will just download those cached derivations.

You need nix installed.
We recommend Lix Installer, and
using install macos --volume-label if you are using multiple MacOS installations.
