adingbatponder :nixos: 👾 on Nostr: Using a repo like codeberg and #git for managing a #flake for #nixos that applies for ...
Using a repo like codeberg and #git for managing a #flake for #nixos that applies for all multiple machines of a fleet each, having their own git branch, using the .#<machine_of_fleet> is really hard. Does anyone do this too? Why is it so hard? For example I have not stopped using #checkout as a command because it makes no sense to me and leads to confusion, and use switch and restore. Also I have made a mental note not to refer to "main" in any operation other than the one master machine. Tips?
