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:
- If you have
nix-direnvinstalled, you can initialize the environment by runningdirenv allow. - If you don't have
nix-direnvinstalled, you can runnix developto open up the Nix-defined shell.
