 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 |
| balsoft | nix shell " git+https://github.com/TyberiusPrime/anysnake2?ref=main&rev=eef5fbe89f685981b7ebf63f695c6c7f42d00892" | 12:31:40 |

| TyberiusPrime | guess I'm on 3.0pre20200829_f156513 | 12:32:36 |
| balsoft | That's really old | 12:32:43 |
| balsoft | Yeah over a year old | 12:32:49 |
| TyberiusPrime | well, it's supposed to be a very recent 'nixUnstable'... hm | 12:34:07 |
| TyberiusPrime | fro mnixpkgs-unstable | 12:34:18 |
 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 |

 colemickens 🏳️🌈 | dude, please tell me I'm confused. | 23:00:58 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | is nix run ... -c command really not a thing anyore" | 23:01:07 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | * is nix run ... -c command really not a thing anymore? | 23:01:10 |
 Dee | I think it's always been nix shell … -c command | 23:06:37 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | -_- | 23:07:13 |
| Dee | yeah, it's kind of... unintuitive | 23:07:37 |
| Dee | since nix run nixpkgs#hello is just pretty much nix shell nixpkgs#hello -c hello | 23:07:59 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | nix run feels like trying too hard to make flakes some sort of magical docker ux | 23:08:37 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | like I get it, but it doesn't make any sense for a nix repo like nixpkgs, what're ya gonna do, make a flakes.apps.X entry for every bin/app in nixpkgs? | 23:09:00 |
| Dee | legacyApps | 23:09:53 |
| Dee | (I kid) | 23:09:57 |

 tomberek | I’ve been thinking of adding a “—command” to ‘nix run’ for exactly this reason. | 03:10:41 |
| tomberek | It helps unify the various run/shell/develop sub commands. | 03:11:06 |
