      Well, you’re clearly very passionate about nix, but all you’ve shown is how to install git in an isolated shell, which again isn’t what I was asking.

      I don’t have anything against nix, but it doesn’t seem like the right solution to the particular problem that was presented.

        🤦🏻‍♂️

        You don’t seem to understand that everything you said in your initial comment is completely possible (trivial) with those nix commands I showed you.

        Podman:

        • spin up a podman to use bash
        • apt install git
        • git checked those folders.
        • deleted the container

        nix:

        • nix-shell -p git
        • git checked those folders
        • close the terminal/garbage collect

        Does it make sense now? Or were you just really vague in your original comment and I misunderstood what you were even doing with your commands?

          This is why nix is doomed to be a toy forever, because its user base consists of unhinged cheerleaders. Please do the following:

          1. Breathe in
          2. Count to 6
          3. Breathe out
          4. Count to 6
          5. Repeat until you stop seeing red

          Now, re-read the linked blog post and my comments, and try to understand the problem.
