Couple of issues found with the latest instructions/code about nixos-config HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi @mayersj1! Thanks a ton for taking the time to write this. It helps make the README better.

My responses:

1. a. Can you help me understand where you found the master branch? Some dependencies use master that I have no control over, but this code should use main.

2. b. Thanks! I've added this to the README.

3. Unfortunately, I'm not really sure. I'd have to build a standalone and test it to be sure. This configuration has only used the home-manager module. Perhaps if you get this working, you can report back on any challenges and I can update the README for future folks?

4. I had an issue with OS upgrades last year, but that's a single time. Since then, I've not had issues. Upgrades happen independent of this Nix configuration, the Nix Store, etc. So you should be good (no need to run .#build-switch).

I'm unable to reproduce 1a. now. It may have been the same reason that caused 1b. and I assumed it was a branch name thing. Sorry for the confusion. I'll keep you updated as I go along!

Thanks for the quick responses!

Actually I faced 1a as well but it was not a problem/hassle.

I had a fresh install of MacOS and with no keys attached to git. When I run nix run .#create-keys, the script was trying to clone the master branch of nix-secrets repository in my account (thanks for updated readme). Git failed because of missing SSH Key but in the logs I found that it tried to clone the master branch.

I am right now trying to set up my Github SSH Key that I always use and my GPG Private Key via the secrets method and will keep you posted how it goes. I didn't find good documentation on the GPG Private Key part and as a beginner in Nix, it's a little daunting to imagine how can I set it up.

PS: Great work on the repo @dustinlyons - I haven't seen anything better. The templates are the perfect way to get an absolute beginner onboarded.

Closing for now, feel free to respond here if any additional questions.
