Welcome, @Pouiiro

one thing i would like to achieve is to be able to access home-manager inside darwin and vice-versa

Can you elaborate on what you are trying to achieve? You are already accessing home-manager inside of your darwin configuration, here:

https://github.com/Pouiiro/PouiiT-Files/blob/4b09565dd59662af07da88809af8bed0631aa175/configurations/darwin/Mac.nix#L18-L21

i meant for example from here:
https://github.com/Pouiiro/PouiiT-Files/blob/4b09565dd59662af07da88809af8bed0631aa175/modules/darwin/services/sketchybar.nix

now i have a separate configuration for home here
https://github.com/Pouiiro/PouiiT-Files/blob/4b09565dd59662af07da88809af8bed0631aa175/modules/home/sketchybar-home.nix

but i would like to just access home.file from inside modules/darwin/services/sketchybar.nix

i will test again and see, ill report the error i'm getting in a sec

Both those modules can take a flake argument, that has access to the whole flake. For example,

https://github.com/srid/nixos-config/blob/a420e5f531172aef753b07a411de8e254207f5c6/modules/darwin/default.nix#L2-L5

This is actually mentioned here: https://nixos-unified.org/#why

But we should document it more thoroughly.

Let me know if this addresses your use case.

Aah oki now i understand! thanks i got it to work!

Now documented here: https://nixos-unified.org/specialArgs.html

Note that this pattern is already used in the template:
