From 8884c42cf2223152b6db8e5754269de2d237745f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Geir Okkenhaug Jerstad Date: Sun, 8 Jun 2025 09:28:10 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Consolidate CLI tools and fix git aliases - Consolidated 25+ common CLI tools into modules/common/base.nix - Added modern rust-based tools (eza, bat, ripgrep, etc.) system-wide - Removed duplicated packages from user and machine configs - Added consistent shell aliases for modern CLI tools - Fixed gpa alias to properly push to all remotes - Removed duplicate git-push-all alias from geir.nix - Added comprehensive documentation in CLI_TOOLS_CONSOLIDATION.md Benefits: - Single source of truth for common CLI tools - Reduced duplication across 7+ configuration files - Improved git workflow with flexible multi-remote pushing - Better maintainability and consistency --- CLI_TOOLS_CONSOLIDATION.md | 108 +++++++++++++++++++++++ machines/grey-area/configuration.nix | 3 +- machines/reverse-proxy/configuration.nix | 3 +- modules/common/base.nix | 69 ++++++++++++--- modules/users/common.nix | 28 ++---- modules/users/geir.nix | 31 +++---- modules/users/sma.nix | 24 ++--- packages/default.nix | 7 +- 8 files changed, 188 insertions(+), 85 deletions(-) create mode 100644 CLI_TOOLS_CONSOLIDATION.md diff --git a/CLI_TOOLS_CONSOLIDATION.md b/CLI_TOOLS_CONSOLIDATION.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..f896ef4 --- /dev/null +++ b/CLI_TOOLS_CONSOLIDATION.md @@ -0,0 +1,108 @@ +# CLI Tools Consolidation Summary + +## Overview +Successfully consolidated common CLI tools from multiple user and machine configurations into `modules/common/base.nix` to reduce duplication and improve maintainability. + +## Changes Made + +### 1.
