Nix: added Package and Application #139

bitSheriff commented 2026年06月16日 08:57:06 +02:00

Hey,
I really love your simplicity of your app :)
I saw the flake.nix in your repo and thought I could add a package such that it can build with nix as well. This has the big advantage that users can import your flake and install Gitte in their NixOS system (well, I am your first NixOS "customer" I think ;) )
Further you can now launch the application with nix run (locally in the repo) or even if not installed with nix run "git+https://codeberg.org/ckruse/Gitte.git" (like to try it out before installing)
I didn't want to edit your README as well (additional Nix setup method), because I want to check if you are ok with this.

If you have some comments, request changes, just reach out :)
Greetings from Vienna,
bitSheriff

Hey, thanks a lot!

Are you aware that Gitte is in unstable? :-)

no i couldn't find it. But maybe the PR isn't merged yet.
Anyway that's great news :)

So in this case, my changes would only help for the local development, not for the standard user.

okay seems like the https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=unstable&query=gitte does not show it, but you can install it.
Thanks a lot for the clarification

That's just the update to 0.7.1, I opened that PR this morning. The package itself is already merged, see https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/pkgs/by-name/gi/gitte

Regardless, thanks for your contribution, will merge!
