# Nix development environments, for various languages
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Those of us on NixOS never install language toolkits system-wide, unlike other distros.
|
||
|
|
Regrettably, many projects are not taking advantage of Nix for reproducible development environments. You should
|
||
|
|
make a big fuss about this in every open source project you are a part of and constantly evangelize about Nix.
|
||
|
|
Until Nix is universally adopted, this repository serves as a collection of flakes which provides compilers,
|
||
|
|
package managers, and basic development tools like LSPs for common languages. Simply clone this to a desired location,
|
||
|
|
then run:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
nix develop <location-of-repo>#<language>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# example
|
||
|
|
nix develop ~/.devenvs#rustNightly
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# provides rust-analyzer, rustc, cargo, and some others from nightly toolchain
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Automatic environment loading
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For convenience, you can use [nix-direnv](https://github.com/nix-community/nix-direnv) to
|
||
|
|
automatically load these environments.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Simply add the following `.envrc` to the project directory:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
# file: .envrc
|
||
|
|
use flake <path-to-this-repo>#<language>
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
use flake ~/.devenvs#go
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you don't want to commit these files, make sure to run the following:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
# tell git to ignore these direnv files for this local repository
|
||
|
|
git update-index --skip-worktree .envrc .direnv
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
