# A shell to get tooling for Nixpkgs development
#
# Note: We intentionally don't use Flakes here,
# because every time you change any file and do another `nix develop`,
# it would create another copy of the entire ~500MB tree in the store.
# See https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/6530 for the future
#
# Note: We use a pinned Nixpkgs so that the tools are readily available even
# when making changes that would otherwise require a new build of those tools.
# If you'd like to test out changes to the tools themselves, you can pass
#
#     nix-shell --arg nixpkgs ./.
