Automated install

[srid]

Instead of pairing with folks to do manual setup of nix-dev-home on a computer with Nix installed, it'd be great to have an automated script that works like DetSys nix-installer.

It should do:

• [x] Move user's .zshrc etc out of the way. Offer a prompt to do this, or: https://github.com/srid/nixos-flake/pull/72
• [x] Fill in the template (cf. https://github.com/flake-parts/templates/issues/2)
  • [x] Set username in flake.nix https://github.com/juspay/nix-dev-home/blob/5c8f1aa430824d160e6849a311d6aa9cb8fb0f66/flake.nix#L29
  • [x] Prompt user to set git meta (otherwise #37)
• [ ] Automate not having to type full nix run . $USER@$HOSTNAME
• Run nix-index to create the index for first time. (already automated)

Stretch:

• om health
  • Offer to resolve max-jobs/trusted-users automatically (requires Temp Admin Access)

• automatically parse alias, exports and add them to terminal.nix?

Yea we can, though it won't cover all cases, like bash functions, viz.:

I think we can do this as a flake app in this repo.

nix run github:juspay/nix-dev-home#install

We shall do this as part of https://omnix.page/om/init.html

Not sure how to automate this.
