This is a nix flake wrapping programs that I often want to build from source, for easy use with nix profile install. I used to include some of these directly in my system flake, but rebuilding a ton of rust code every time I upgraded nixpkgs got old.

Dev tools

• Fish shell
• Jujutsu VCS
• Helix editor
• Ghostty terminal

Programming languages

• Gleam

Usage

# install all
nix profile install github:pvsr/apps-flake

# install all, building with the system nixpkgs
nix profile install --override-input nixpkgs nixpkgs github:pvsr/apps-flake

# ad-hoc upgrade
nix profile upgrade --override-input github:helix-editor/helix/some-branch apps-flake

# run a specific version of an app
nix run --override-input github:janet-lang/janet/v1.39.1 github:pvsr/apps-flake#janet
