Question: Local development #106

Closed mcgilly17 closed 2 months ago

Hey @redyf

I hope you don't mind me posting this here.

I was hoping you might help me improve my workflow for developing a standalone nix config.

So far the only way that I can develop while maintaining a nix-config on my machines is below. Is it the same workflow you use?

  1. Active development on standalone nixvim configs in a cloned repo on my local.
  2. Run nix run to check that it's working
  3. Commit and push to GitHub
  4. Add standalone nixvim configs as a flake into my nix-config for my machines
  5. Run nix flake update on nix-configs to pull in latest nixvim configs
  6. Switch to new version of the nix configs flake.

I feel like I might be missing a trick with nix develop and build on my local. Can you spare any wisdom, please?

Those are the exactly same steps I do too
