I believe when I last asked, the recommended practice was to have the configuration in /etc/nix-darwin/flake.nix.

(Earlier discussion at #1360).

And the default steps in the nix-darwin README achieve this.

However, if I want to version control my flake.nix directory - what's the "correct" way to do that?

Are we meant to create a git repo in /etc/nix-darwin, or is that an anti-pattern?

Or should we be doing it in our home directory somewhere (~/.config/nix-darwin? ~/dotfiles?), and doing some weird symlink magic? Or is that likely to break things, like when I tried earlier?

And if I'm also using home-manager, we still keep everything in /etc/nix-darwin/flake.nix, right?
