Usage

First, ensure you have flakes activated in Nix. This is different depending on where and how you've installed Nix.

If you're using NixOS, add this to your configuration:

nix.settings.experimental-features = [ "nix-command" "flakes" ];

If you're using any other distro, add the following to either ~/.config/nix/nix.conf or /etc/nix/nix.conf:

experimental-features = nix-command flakes

Once you have setup the above, navigate to your project directory and run nix flake init -t github:Frontear/flake-templates#YOUR_LANGUAGE_HERE:

$ nix flake init -t github:Frontear/flake-templates#c
wrote: project/nix/shell.nix
wrote: project/nix/default.nix
wrote: project/nix/package.nix
wrote: project/nix
wrote: project/src/main.c
wrote: project/src
wrote: project/flake.nix

Finally, cd into the directory, run nix develop and enjoy having all the tools you need for your standard development experience.
