Following is specifications/syntax for various Nix things I think to be important in a fast and readable way.

LOCATION:

• /etc/nixos/configuration.nix

COMMON CONFIGURATION FUNCTIONS:

• enviroment.systemPackages - specifies an array of packages to install onto the system

COMMON CONFIGURATION SYNTAX:

• with <KEY>; [<VALUES>] - specifies an array of values that would start in a KEY.VALUE format in a way as to not have to put KEY before each one. IT SHOULD BE NOTED I DO NOT CURRENTLY KNOW WHAT THE CORRECT NAME WOULD BE FOR THE KEY AND VALUE IN NIX SYNTAX!!!

SYNTAX:

• nix-shell <FLAGS>

FLAGS:

• -p <PACKAGES> - specifies what packages you want in the shell
• --run '<COMMANDS>' - specifies what commands you what to run in the enviro

SYNTAX:

• sudo nixos-rebuild <OPTION>

FLAGS/OPTIONS:

• switch - apply the current configuration.nix file AND make it boot default
• test - apply the current configuration.nix file AND DON'T make it boot default
