Great work you're doing, dotfile management is a major missing link in nixos, imho.

I know it's early days for this project, so see this as a brainstorm.

@matthiasbeyer is doing related work, he has a script that shows you the nixpkgs commit that your current generation is derived from. One of his goals is something similar but for configuration.

I guess you can see where this is going: Eventually, it'd be great to have a way to see which dotfile config each generation has.

yeah, I'll write a helper script / user client for the file distribution real soon, first I'd like to get some real stuff working though. Been working on a bunch of stuff, including learning more about nixpkgs and nix, but this project is an end-point I'm dragging myself towards. Thanks for the interest!
