Automate Project Environments with Devbox and Direnv

1. mise

   1 143 30,430 10.0 Rust

   dev tools, env vars, task runner

   

   Use mise instead; it's fast, it gets out of your way, it's easy to use, and it's compatible with asdf plugins.

   http://mise.jdx.dev/

   Can't manage lower-level deps like dynamic libraries and C compilers, though. I just containerize those.

3. container-shell

   2 9 105 6.6 Shell

   Starts and attaches a sandboxed shell using docker with access to the current or project directory

   

   Very nice. I'll def. check it out.

   I've created https://github.com/jrz/container-shell myself, which has a similar mindset, but is based on docker and is just a single bash script.

5. haskell-template

   4 9 291 7.4 Nix

   Haskell project template using Nix + Flakes + VSCode (HLS)

   But if you are comfortable with Nix you don't need Devbox per se, as you can get by with using Flakes. Here are some examples -- just `git clone` and run `direnv allow` (once), then you are put in the corresponding devShell

9. nammayatri

   8 8 2,520 10.0 Haskell

   A Direct-to-Driver open mobility platform powering the next-generation of mobility applications in India.

   

   Here's an open source "Uber" project, written largely in Haskell and heavily uses Nix/ direnv:

   https://github.com/nammayatri/nammayatri

   There's dedicated direnv configuration for backend and frontend development: checkout `.envrc.backend` and `.envrc.frontend` files. They both use `use flake`, specifying the appropriate devShell argument.
