    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.
