shells

This is a collection of general purpose and project specific nix shells.

They are mostly for personal use.

Add adhoc .envrc

The shells can easily be used in a project by creating a .envrc file, with contents like:

use flake git+ssh://git.pvv.ntnu.no/oysteikt/shells.git#rust

I've added .envrc to my global gitignore, so I don't accidentally commit these.

Add to flake registry

{
  # NixOS / home-manager (API is similar)
  nix.registry."shells".to = {
    type = "git";
    url = "https://git.pvv.ntnu.no/oysteikt/shells.git";
    ref = "main";
  };
}

Lets you do this:

$ nix develop shells#rust

As well as shorthands in .envrc:

use flake shells#rust
