Run zsh with 'nix develop'
I built my development flake for this website with the FlakeHub CLI. That flake uses pkgs.mkShell
to load in binary dependencies to the development environment. I run zsh defined and configured by nix-darwin
, so it was pretty jarring getting thrown into a plain bash shell when running nix develop
. Luckily the fix is simple. Rather than just running nix develop
, run:
nix develop -c $SHELL
and your normal shell will be run instead of the default bash shell.
