SCOTT-HAMILTON	* Hello, I have an environment that is built with buildEnv. I've added this buildEnv to a devShell's packages and I can confirm that when I run `nix develop` the environment is accessible. How can I create a bash default runnable (nix run) such that running it is equivalent to running nix develop and then running the bash script ?	14:39:05

atagen	are you perhaps looking for shellHook in the mkShell ?	04:16:03
atagen	using `nix run` to enter a dev shell seems a little off but if you put the bash script into the shell `packages` and execute it in `shellHook` I think you can achieve what you want	04:17:34

woobilicious	open the flake in nix repl and look at the devShell attrset to see how it works. and I think for nix run to work you just set mainProgram in the meta section of a package, plenty of examples in nixpkgs.	06:17:36
