Can I run an arbitrary github flake as a one liner? generally speaking yes | 12:19:23 |
 TyberiusPrime | turns out it's as simple as 'nix shell github:/TyberiusPrime/anysnake2?rev=eef5fbe89f685981b7ebf63f695c6c7f42d00892'... | 12:25:00 |
| TyberiusPrime | (which of course fails to compile because I'm trying to stamp the git version into that, and nix doesn't clone the repo, but downloads a tarball :)) | 12:25:20 |

turns out it's as simple as 'nix shell github:/TyberiusPrime/anysnake2?rev=eef5fbe89f685981b7ebf63f695c6c7f42d00892'... You can omit the rev | 12:25:21 |
| balsoft | Or do it like github:TyberiusPrime/anysnake2/eef5fbe | 12:26:00 |
| TyberiusPrime | I need the rev. | 12:26:08 |
| balsoft | Yeah but you only need the first few chars | 12:26:18 |
| TyberiusPrime | this will be 'read config. If config says to use a different version, respawn as nix shell <correct version here>' | 12:26:24 |
| balsoft | And you can pass revs and branches as the last part of the URI | 12:26:29 |
| balsoft | (unless the branch name contains slashes or other weird stuff, then you need to use URI query syntax and uriencode it) | 12:27:01 |

Yeah but you only need the first few chars that way lies madness. I don't even want to know what happens on an eventual collision) | 12:27:15 |

| TyberiusPrime | is it telling me that it can't handle the default branch being called 'main' | 12:31:04 |
| TyberiusPrime | ? | 12:31:05 |
| balsoft | It can | 12:31:12 |

 Jez (he/him) 🌦️ | What other VCS's does nix flakes allow? I've used it with git and mercurial so far | 18:55:17 |
 Las | None I think. | 20:37:23 |
| Las | It will still work with other VCSes but not as well. | 20:37:30 |
