I confirm that...

• I searched the FAQ, issue tracker, discussions board, documentation, and wiki, and did not find an answer to my question.

• Any discussions with or conclusions derived from the use of LLMs will be omitted from my question.

What is your question?

I am trying to set up a home-manager configuration that automatically installs doom emacs from the git repository.
(I am very new to nix, so forgive me if I am being stupid please)

What I am currently thinking about is this; Is it possible to write a derivation that gets the repository, runs doom install and then symlink that into ~/.config/emacs?

I guess what I'm asking is this:
What exactly does doom install modify and what runtime dependencies does it have?

Also. what exactly does doom sync do, because I don't think I can just run it after ~/.config/emacs is already read-only, right?

also, of course, the install needs to be noninteractive
