omnix

Pronounced /ɒmˈnɪks/

Omnix aims to supplement the Nix CLI to improve developer experience.

Usage

See https://omnix.page/

Developing

1. Install Nix
2. Setup direnv
3. Clone this repo, cd to it, and run direnv allow.

This will automatically activate the nix develop shell. Open VSCode and install recommended extensions, ensuring that direnv activates in VSCode as well.

Running locally

To run omnix-cli,

just watch # Or `just w`; you can also pass args, e.g.: `just w show`

Nix workflows

Inside the nix develop shell (activated by direnv) you can use any of the cargo or rustc commands, as well as just workflows. Nix specific commands can also be used to work with the project:

# Full nix build of CLI
nix build

# Build and run the CLI
nix run
