    Nix Packages collection & NixOS

    Does anyone have a ready-to-use nix file to install Neovim 0.8.1? For the last year I've been using neovim overlay as nightly always had something to offer. But these days 0.8.x has everything I ever wanted and probably it's time to stick to something more stable. However, I'm struggling to setup the derivation for 0.8.1. I tried to copy over neovim/default.nix from master (I'm on darwin-22.05), but it fails because of something with Lua env.

    The Neovim repo itself contains a Nix flake in its contrib directory. You can include this as an input in your own flakes and install it or wrap it as a package from its outputs. My own config is packaged this way:

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
