nixbyexample VS devshell

It’s super vague. The only way I could find to understand how to create a flake (for https://mimoo.github.io/nixbyexample/) was trial and error and diving into the nix codebase.

This is great! After spending some time with nix and writing https://mimoo.github.io/nixbyexample/ I figured it’s too consuming and hard to manage nix yourself. These usable user-facing tools are really what nix needs to go to the next level

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.

devshell is pretty useful too :)

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.

How does it differ from https://github.com/numtide/devshell ?

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

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