t3code-nix

Nix packages for T3 Code stable releases, with patches that upstream does not have yet.

Why

The t3code package in nixpkgs builds the upstream release as-is. We need patches on top of it, such as direnv support for agents, while they wait for upstream. This flake reuses the nixpkgs recipe and changes only the release, the patches, and the hashes.

How it fits together

flowchart LR
  upstream["pingdotgg/t3code<br/>stable tag (v0.1.1)"]
  fork["OSSystems/t3code<br/>v0.1.1+direnv branch"]
  recipe["nixpkgs<br/>t3code recipe"]
  patches["packages/t3code/patches"]
  pkg["packages/t3code/package.nix"]
  out["packages.&lt;system&gt;.t3code<br/>overlays.default"]

  upstream -- "base" --> fork
  fork -- "git format-patch" --> patches
  upstream -- "source" --> pkg
  recipe -- "override" --> pkg
  patches --> pkg
  pkg --> out

Loading

Use

nix build github:OSSystems/t3code-nix
nix run github:OSSystems/t3code-nix#t3code

Or add overlays.default to your nixpkgs. It replaces t3code.

Packages

Each directory in packages/ with a package.nix is one package. A package with the same name as a nixpkgs package receives the nixpkgs one and overrides it.
