 ** Install Notes for Myself
 To get this running on a NixOS system, I will start by cloning the repo:
 #+BEGIN_SRC sh :noeval
-git clone https://gitlab.com/librephoenix/nixos-config.git /path/to/my/config/folder
+git clone https://gitlab.com/librephoenix/nixos-config.git ~/.dotfiles
 #+END_SRC
 
+Since I store tons of images to showcase all of my [[./themes][themes]] cloning the entire repo can actually take a really long time! A quicker way is to use a shallow, sparse clone like so:
+#+BEGIN_SRC sh :noeval
+git clone --filter=blob:none --depth 1 --no-checkout https://gitlab.com/librephoenix/nixos-config.git
+cd ~/.dotfiles
+echo "/*" > .git/info/sparse-checkout
+echo "/themes/*/*.png" >> .git/info/sparse-checkout
+git sparse-checkout init --cone
+git read-tree -mu HEAD
+#+END_SRC
+This clones all the necessary build files without the huge image files.

 To get the hardware configuration on a new system, I can other copy from =/etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix= or run:
 #+BEGIN_SRC sh :noeval
-sudo nixos-generate-config --dir /dotfiles/path/system
+cd ~/.dotfiles
+sudo nixos-generate-config --show-hardware-config > system/hardware-configuration.nix
 #+END_SRC
 
 Then, I can switch into the system configuration by running:
 #+BEGIN_SRC sh :noeval
-cd /dotfiles/path
-sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#snowfire
+cd ~/.dotfiles
+sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#system
 #+END_SRC
