I built fast and simple tool for NixOS in C++

🛠️ What I built

I built a C++ tool that automatically download my configuration for NixOS and create backup of user config

❄️ Why I built it

I often had a problem where I would:

  • forget to backup settings
  • manually copy configs between machines

So I decided to automate the process and make it reproducible with a simple C++ tool.


⚙️ How it works

the tool:

  1. Download my config from remote source
  2. Reads the user's existing config
  3. Creates backup before overwriting anything
  4. Replace or merges configs safely

💎 Tech stack

  • C++
  • NixOS
