For direnv users who use nix + flakes: This will auto-load the dev-shell for you if you cd into the project.

nixpkgswell contains all available nix-packages which we need, especially the dependencies.rust-overlayis basically a toolset for nix to, for example, fetch the latest stable toolchain of rust, whilenixpkgsisn't that fastflake-partsprovides a better API to write aflake.nixcargo-watchdoc: I personally think that this is kinda useful andnixpkgshasn't packaged this one yet, so this github link is referring to the official repo to include it into a dev shell

This allows nix users to just run nix run and crates-tui will run without installing it.

This one declares the dev shell with all required dependencies to just run cargo run or cargo build.

@joshka I hope my comments are clearing up some things, if not, feel free to ask :) |

Thanks for the PR! I like the idea of adding nix support in theory. I personally cannot use nix on a work computer because it requires root access so I've avoided it for maintaining a setup for works across multiple machines.

Well, I don't mind if it gets removed (of course it would be nice if it stays there ;))
Basically nothing I think. Because I've "included" the meta-data from the crate into the flake. So whenever you change anything to
Aye! I wouldn't mind to get the questions

Revisiting this, my main question needs a bit more detail. I don't currently understand (as someone not well versed in nix) what value adding this has. Can you expand on that perhaps? What are you looking to achieve here? |
Sure thing! So the main achievements which I'm looking for are:
I hope this clears up some questions. |

Hi! This PR adds a
flake.nixwith a dev-shell and a package so that nix users are able to use a "nightly" version ofcrates-tui.
