Devenvcp

Template init tool for devenv inspired by nix flake init to copy your devenv templates so you don't need to use nix flakes for it.

Installation

From Pypi

pip install devenvcp

From nix flake

Add this to your inputs

inputs.devenvcp.url = "git+https://codeberg.org/claymorwan/devenvcp"

Then you can install the package using the nix module:

{
  import = [
    # For NixOS
    inputs.devenvcp.nixosModules.default
    # For home-manager
    inputs.devenvcp.homeModules.default
  ];
  
  programs.devenvcp.enable = true;
}

Alternatively install the package like so:

environment.systemPackages = [
  inputs.devenvcp.packages.${pkgs.stdenv.hostPlatform.system}.default
];

for home-manager:

home.packages = [
  inputs.devenvcp.packages.${pkgs.stdenv.hostPlatform.system}.default
];

You can also directly run

nix run git+https://codeberg.org/claymorwan/devenvcp -- <args>

Usage

Create a devenvcp.toml file in which you can add your templates like so

[python]            # name of template
path = "./python"   # relative path your template's directory
aliases = ["py"]    # list of string to use as aliases in the cli

Then run the following

devenvcp path/to/dir/containing/config <template>
# for example
devenvcp ~/.dotfiles/NixOS/dev-shells/devenv python

Configuration

You can define a default path by setting the env DEVENVCP_DEFAULT to a correct, then just run the command as usual without the path:

devenvcp <template>
# for example
devenvcp python

The path here should be an absolute path.

If you're using the nix module, you can set the default path with an option:

{
  programs.devenvcp = {
    enable = true;
    defaultPath = "absolute/path/to/dir/containing/config";
  };
}

Wait can't I just use this with anything else and not just devenv ?

I mean yea, I made it with devenv in mind at first but nothing stops u from using it with to template like anything else lol, I might rename the project eventually who knows
