Devenv 2.0: A Fresh Interface to Nix

devenv.sh

I've been using Jetify Devbox as a package manager on my Mac as it's generally better than Homebrew, but lately it's been a little flaky (no pun intended). Anyone know if this can do the same?

We see project specific environments superior to having global packages installed.

You can do things like creating ad-hoc environments:

$ devenv -O languages.rust.enable:true shell

Once you teach your coding agent to use it, it will just use it to get packages if needs any: https://devenv.sh/integrations/claude-code/#global-configura...

Can you describe what you like about it vs brew?

That is awesome!
