+## Rebuild (existing machine)

+```bash
+rebuild switch   # zsh helper: sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake ~/NixOS-Configs#<host>

+
+## Adding a new host (e.g. a laptop)
+
+1. Create `hosts/<name>/` with `default.nix`, `hardware-configuration.nix`, and
+   (optionally) `disko.nix`; import the shared modules (`modules/core`,
+   `modules/graphical`, `modules/apps`).
+2. Register it in `flake.nix` under `nixosConfigurations`.
+3. Declare host-specific displays in `hosts/<name>/default.nix`:
+
+```nix
+home-manager.users.anish.volt.monitors = [
+  {
+    output = "eDP-1";              # or "desc:<panel description>"
+    mode = "2880x1800@120Hz";      # or "preferred"
+    position = "auto";
+    scale = 2;
+    vrr = null;                    # optional per-monitor VRR
+  }
+  { output = ""; mode = "preferred"; position = "auto"; scale = "auto"; } # fallback
+];
+```
+
+The `volt.monitors` default (any output @ preferred) keeps every machine working
+out of the box; hosts override only what they need. Hosts without an NVIDIA GPU
+simply don't import `modules/hardware/nvidia.nix` — all vendor env vars live there.
