We are using nix for our project dependencies

[Sigmanificient]

Nix is a software tool that allows us to approach dependencies in a reproducible and declarative manner. By using flakes, we will provide a developer shell that contains all the packages used to build our language.

We are also using the git-hooks module from cachix to verify locally that our code is well formatted and follow the commit convention.

Setup

Please get nix on your system by following the official instructions or install a downstream distribution such as determinate nix or lix.

To load the develop shell:

nix develop

Tip

direnv is a great tool to automatically load the shell when you enters the project directory.

the direnv way:

echo "use flake" | tee .envrc && direnv allow
