Finally

After much struggling I've figured out how to make a neovim flake which works how I want it too

Test it out

With flakes enabled

nix run github:Gerg-L/nvim-flake

Legacy (may seem like it stalls)

nix-shell -p '(import (builtins.fetchTarball "https://github.com/Gerg-L/nvim-flake/archive/master.tar.gz")).packages.${builtins.currentSystem}.default' --run nvim

To install

Flakes

Add this flake as an input

#flake.nix
{
  inputs = {
    nvim-flake = {
      url = "github:Gerg-L/nvim-flake";
      inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
    };
...

(Make sure you're passing inputs to your modules)

Add to user environment

#anyModule.nix
{inputs, pkgs, ...}:
{

# add system wide
  environment.systemPackages = [
    inputs.nvim-flake.packages.${pkgs.system.default
  ];
# add per-user
  users.users."<name>".packages = [
    inputs.nvim-flake.packages.${pkgs.system.default
  ];
}

Legacy

Use fetchTarball

#anyModule.nix
{pkgs, ...}:
let
  nvim-flake = import (builtins.fetchTarball {
  # Get the revision by choosing a version from https://github.com/Gerg-L/nvim-flake/commits/master
  url = "https://github.com/Gerg-L/nvim-flake/archive/<revision>.tar.gz";
  # Get the hash by running `nix-prefetch-url --unpack <url>` on the above url
  sha256 = "<hash>";
});
in
{
# add system wide
  environment.systemPackages = [
    nvim-flake.packages.${pkgs.system.default
  ];
# add per-user
  users.users."<name>".packages = [
    nvim-flake.packages.${pkgs.system.default
  ];
}

Forking usage guide

Update the flake like any other nix flake update

Add/remove/update plugins via npins Example of adding a plugin: npins add github nvim-treesitter nvim-treesitter-context -branch main Example of updated all plugins: npins update -f

All lua configuration is done in the /lua directory, and imported and ordered through /lua/default.nix. my lua config is not very good so I reccomend bringing your own
