        # Nix with flakes enabled on GitPod

[![built with nix](https://builtwithnix.org/badge.svg)](https://builtwithnix.org)

This [GitPod] environment has [Nix] installed and [flakes] enabled.

[![Open in Gitpod](https://gitpod.io/button/open-in-gitpod.svg)](https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/the-nix-way/nix-flakes-gitpod)

The environment is quite simple and has just two packages available: `hello` and `cowsay`.

To run the environment in your browser, click on the GitPod button above. Once the environment is ready, open the terminal in Visual Studio Code. To use the shell environment provided by the [`flake.nix`](./flake.nix):

```shell

nix develop

```

Then you can see that the flake-provided packages are available. Run the `hello` package:

```shell

bash-5.1$ hello

Hello, world!

```

Run the `cowsay` package with an input:

```shell

bash-5.1$ cowsay mooooo

 ________

< mooooo >

 --------

        \   ^__^

         \  (oo)\_______

            (__)\       )\/\

                ||----w |

                ||     ||

```

## Origins

This config is based on GitPod's [official Nix template][template]. It makes just [one small change][change] to the template to enable [flakes] and also provides a simple [`flake.nix`](./flake.nix) for use in the project.

## Template

Like GitPod's original, you can use this repo as a template by clicking on **Use this template** above.
