name: verify-nix-config description: Compile-only validation for Home Manager Nix/Emacs config changes. Use after editing any `*.nix` or `emacs.el` file to ensure the flake builds without switching profiles.

Verify Nix Config (Compile Only)

Rating: 92
Author: idreamshen

Run a build-only check after changes to Nix or Emacs configuration to catch errors without activating a profile.

Trigger

Use this workflow whenever editing:

•Any *.nix file (e.g., common.nix, home.nix, osx.nix, flake.nix)
•emacs.el

Workflow

•
Build activation package (no switch)
bash
```
nix build .#homeConfigurations.company-mbp.activationPackage
```
This compiles the Home Manager profile without applying it.

•

If working on the Linux profile

bash

nix build .#homeConfigurations.homelab-devbox.activationPackage

Notes

•Do not run home-manager switch for verification.
•If the build fails, report the error output and stop before further edits.
