Documentation and More Documentation

Documentation is an important ingredient of a successful software project.

Last few weeks I’ve worked on improving status quo on two fronts:

1. https://nix.dev is an opinionated guide for developers getting things done using the Nix ecosystem.

   A few highlights:

   • Getting started repository template with a tutorial for using declarative and reproducible developer environments

   • Setting up GitHub Actions with Nix

   • Nix language anti-patterns to avoid and recommended alternatives

   • Building docker images with Nix

   • Frequently Asked Questions about Nix

2. https://docs.cachix.org with documentation and help how to use Cachix.

   A few highlights:

   • Installation

   • Getting Started

   • Getting Started With Continuous Integration

   • Security

   • Why is Nix not picking up on any of the pre-built artifacts?

   • Is there a way to cache nix-shell?
