# Nix Background Upgrade
Upgrade NixOS system (and/or home-manager) in the background, with notification support.

**Early stages of development, subject to change and likely not working at the current stage.**

## Install
Clone the repository and install with pip (or preferred Python packaging system):

```bash
git clone https://git.xenia.me.uk/pixelifytica/nix-background-upgrade.git
python3 -m pip install ./nix-background-upgrade
```

### For development
Project uses [Poetry](https://python-poetry.org/ "Poetry: Python packaging and dependency management tool") to manage dependencies.

Install Poetry (see [documentation](https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installation) for more details), for example using `pipx`:

```bash
pipx install poetry
```

Then install project using `poetry`:

```bash
poetry install
```

Python code is formatted using [black](https://pypi.org/project/black/ "The uncompromising code formatter") and [isort](https://pypi.org/project/isort/ "A Python utility / library to sort Python imports").

#### `pre-commit`
[pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/ "A framework for managing and maintaining multi-language pre-commit hooks") is used to ensure formatting of new/changed files. Install pre-commit hooks with:

```bash
pre-commit install --install-hooks
```

### Nix Flake
Project provides a Nix `flake.nix` to get up and running quickly.
