I've been looking for some information about how exactly the $HOME/.nixpkgs/config.nix file works. How exactly is it intended to be used? Up until now I've been managing my entire system from /etc/nixos, but it would be nice to have a place where I can add something that happens only to a single user. For example, setting up dotfiles, or use our services. Can the config.nix file be used for that? Is it effectively a /etc/nixos/configuration.nix that is intended to be used for a single user?

I have found little bits of information about it here and there, for example in the nix pills. but nothing that really explains what it is used for in detail. Could someone point me where I can find this information?
