🎯 Documentation Content
1. Getting Started Guide
# Getting Started with Wrapper System
## Installation
### Prerequisites
- Nix with flakes enabled
- Just command runner
- Git for version control
### Quick Installation
```bash
# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/LarsArtmann/Setup-Mac
cd Setup-Mac
# Deploy wrapper system
just switch
# Validate deployment
just test-wrappersYour First Wrapped Tool
Understanding Wrappers
- What are wrapped packages?
- Benefits over traditional configuration
- When to use wrappers
Creating Your First Wrapper
# Example: Custom bat wrapper
{ pkgs, lib, ... }:
let
customBatConfig = pkgs.writeText "bat-config" ''
--theme="material"
--style="numbers,changes"
'';
in
pkgs.writeShellScriptBin "custom-bat" ''
export BAT_CONFIG_PATH="${customBatConfig}"
exec "${pkgs.bat}/bin/bat" "$@"
''Testing and Validation
Basic Testing
# Test your wrapper
which custom-bat
custom-bat --versionAdvanced Testing
# Performance testing
hyperfine --runs 10 "custom-bat --version"
# Configuration validation
bat --config-dir=$(pwd)/.config/bat --show-themes
#### **2. Migration Guide**
```markdown
# Migrating from Traditional Dotfiles
## Migration Overview
### Why Migrate?
- 95% reduction in setup time
- 100% portable configurations
- Zero configuration drift
- Version-controlled application settings
### Migration Strategy
1. **Assessment**: Identify existing dotfiles
2. **Planning**: Plan migration sequence
3. **Execution**: Migrate using automated tools
4. **Validation**: Verify functionality
5. **Cleanup**: Remove old configurations
## Automated Migration
### Using Migration Tools
```bash
# Complete automated migration
just migrate-to-wrappers
# Monitor migration progress
just migration-status
# Validate migration results
just test-wrappers
Manual Migration
Step-by-Step Process
-
Backup current configuration
just auto-backup
-
Identify target applications
- Review existing dotfiles
- Choose migration priority
- Check wrapper availability
-
Convert configurations
# Example: Starship migration cp ~/.config/starship.toml backup/starship.toml # Create wrapper based on existing config
-
Test and validate
# Test wrapped version nix run .#starship-wrapped -- version # Compare behavior with original # Validate all features work correctly
-
Deploy and cleanup
# Apply new wrapper system just switch # Remove old configurations rm -rf ~/.config/starship.toml
#### **3. Troubleshooting Guide**
```markdown
# Wrapper System Troubleshooting
## Common Issues
### Wrapper Not Found
**Problem**: `which wrapped-tool` shows system tool
**Solution**:
1. Check deployment: `just switch`
2. Verify wrapper exists: `just list-wrappers`
3. Rebuild wrapper: `nix build .#wrapped-tool`
### Configuration Not Applied
**Problem**: Wrapped tool uses default settings
**Solution**:
1. Check config file generation
2. Verify environment variables
3. Test config file path
4. Validate wrapper script
### Performance Issues
**Problem**: Wrapped tool slower than expected
**Solution**:
1. Check for debug output
2. Optimize wrapper script
3. Enable lazy loading
4. Profile performance bottlenecks
### Cross-Platform Issues
**Problem**: Wrapper works on macOS but not Linux
**Solution**:
1. Check path handling
2. Verify platform-specific configurations
3. Test on target platform
4. Adjust for compatibility
## Diagnostic Commands
```bash
# System health check
just health
# Wrapper validation
just validate-wrappers
# Performance benchmarking
just benchmark-wrappers
# Migration status
just migration-status
