nix-direnv

A fast, persistent use_nix implementation for direnv. Prominent features:

  • significantly faster after the first run by caching nix-shell environment
  • prevents garbage collection of build dependencies by symlinking the resulting shell derivation in the user's gcroots (Life is too short to loose your build cache of your project if you are in a plane without internet connection)

USAGE

$ git clone https://github.com/nix-community/nix-direnv $HOME/.nix-direnv

Then source the direnvrc from this repository in your own .direnvrc

# put this in ~/.direnvrc
source $HOME/.nix-direnv/direnvrc
