Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.
nix-direnv
- A faster, persistent implementation of direnv's use_Nix and use_flake

How do multiple versions of the package internally work?
BTW: I personally use direnv with nix-direnv. This basically works by setting your shell with proper tooling when you enter the directory.
-
I have a few beginner question, what is the difference between nix shell/env and what is the difference between flakes/home-manager?
I'm not sure what you mean by nix env, maybe you are referring to nix-direnv?
-
Just a reminder to make sure Garbage Collection is running
Although currently I'm using direnv + nix-direnv. Keep in mind that direnv has builtin nix support which is very basic and doesn't do any caching. So you still needs this add-on to preserve roots.

What do you install with configuration.nix and home manager
I distinguish between system level things and user level things, even though I don't really have different users on my machine. I install the bare minimum number of packages + a lot of different drivers in the configuration.nix, and desktop and editor related things in HM. For development environment, I have environment per project using mkShell and https://github.com/nix-community/nix-direnv, which allows you to switch to the specific environment once you cd into the directory. (Although I do have python installed globally with some commonly used packages such as numpy, so I can just start python and write something when I need to, without creating an environment)
-
How do YOU use your PKMS?
I further make my software projects so that when I click a link I go into an environment pre-loaded with their dependencies so dropping in/out of projects is always frictionless. I do this with the reproducibility guarantees of nix, along with glue like nix-direnv and envrc-mode to direnv.

Minimal approach for python devel environment with flake
Personally I use nix-direnv. No longer the need to run nix develop or nix-shell. By setting up a .envrc with either use nix or use flake it will automatically install all the packages from default/shell.nix or flake.nix
-
Nix and envrc
Direnv is installed using the nix-direnv installation instructions under "Via configuration.nix in NixOS". I read some recommendations that envrc.el is a better alternative then direnv.el, and after some testing I have to agree. (envrc-global-mode) is enabled in my config. This works perfectly with a normal emacs instance.

Any tips for setting up a local development environment for wordpress?
numtide/devshell is cool little extension to bare devshells, you may wanna have it.

There is also devshell[1] which allows you to configure specific commands for your `env` and sits inside your flake.

Building a highly optimized home environment with Nix
I'm new to the Nix world, but so far I've come across Divnix's Digga, Numtide's DevShell, and Misterio77's nix-starter-configs.

Annoncing Shix, tailored development shells made with Nix
How does it differ from https://github.com/numtide/devshell ?

Nim packages stats
But take a look at devshell is like the NixOS/HomeManager of your (any language) project. I over abused it to create YAML files and to use Nim as script

Use remote package derivation file with nix-shell --packages option
Here's an example with devShell as a remote repository: sh nix-shell -p '(import (fetchGit "https://github.com/numtide/devshell") {}).cli'
