While much of your work in this template may be idiosyncratic in nature. Anything
that might be generally useful to the broader NixOS community can be synced to
the `template` branch to provide a host of useful NixOS configurations available

these guidelines:
* format your code with [`nixfmt`][nixfmt]
* The commit message follows the same semantics as [nixpkgs][nixpkgs].
* You can use a `#` symbol to specify ambiguities. For example,
`develop#zsh: <rest of commit message>` would tell me that your updating the
`zsh` subprofile living under the `develop` profile.
