To initialize (where ${ENV}
is listed in the table below):
nix flake init --template "https://flakehub.com/f/the-nix-way/dev-templates/*#${ENV}"
Here's an example (for the rust
template):
# Initialize in the current project
nix flake init --template "https://flakehub.com/f/the-nix-way/dev-templates/*#rust"
# Create a new project
nix flake new --template "https://flakehub.com/f/the-nix-way/dev-templates/*#rust" ${NEW_PROJECT_DIRECTORY}
Once your preferred template has been initialized, you can use the provided shell in two ways:
nix-direnv
installed, you can initialize the environment by running direnv allow
.nix-direnv
installed, you can run nix develop
to open up the Nix-defined shell.Language/framework/tool | Template |

All of the templates have only the root flake as a flake input. That root flake provides a common revision of Nixpkgs and flake-utils
to all the templates.
