# Nix flake templates for easy dev environments

To initialize (where `${ENV}` is listed in the table below):

```shell
nix flake init --template github:the-nix-way/dev-templates#${ENV}
```

Here's an example (for the [`rust`](./rust) template):

```shell
# Initialize in the current project
nix flake init --template github:the-nix-way/dev-templates#rust

# Create a new project
nix flake new --template github:the-nix-way/dev-templates#rust ${NEW_PROJECT_DIRECTORY}
```

## How to use the templates

Once your preferred template has been initialized, you can use the provided shell in two ways:

1. If you have [`nix-direnv`][nix-direnv] installed, you can initialize the environment by running `direnv allow`.
2. If you don't have `nix-direnv` installed, you can run `nix develop` to open up the Nix-defined shell.
