Rensa DevShell

Minimal devshell implementation using Modules. Inspired by numtide/devshell.

Features

• fast: due to the NixOS module system it's a bit slower than pkgs.mkShell, but only about 10% (still in the tens of milliseconds range)
• minimal: only contains the bare minimum, the rest should be added with imported modules
• straight forward: no toml (like numtide/devshell), no abstractions over Nix (like devenv), just a straight forward Nix lib

Usage

Simple example:

let
  # make sure to add 
  #  inputs.devshell.url = "gitlab:rensa-nix/devshell?dir=lib";
  # to your inputs
  devshell = inputs.devshell.lib { inherit pkgs; };
in
  devshell.mkShell {}
