not sure if this was flake related sorry

Please don't feel bad for asking any questions, I'm just trying to understand why every single message in here is unrelated to the channel.

I'm wondering: What public communication indicates to you that this is related to flakes?

This is not related to pinning any flake input in any flake lockfile.

This is not related about the output forms tod the flake.

This is not related to any of the new commands introduced to work with flakes.

I am not sure what else I'm missing, except for the fact that the flake interface is the only sane mechanism to use nix (the packaging/building language) unless you want to write your own locking script, use someone elses, or edit hashes by hand every time someone makes a new commit somewhere. (or use channels God forbid)

hey, I am using direnv with flakes to install dev dependencies.
My issue is that some packages are not available for aarch64-darwin (helm for example), I know nix-darwin can install packages using homebrew.
Is there a way to install homebrew package via flake and direnv?
