develop-templates

Nix flake templates for reproducible development environments — bootstrap Node.js, Python, Rust, Java, Kotlin, NixOS configs, and more with a single command.

A curated collection of Nix flake project templates. Bootstrap reproducible development environments for any programming language with nix flake init -t. Drop-in replacements for language-specific version managers — powered by Nix, no Docker, no manual toolchain setup.

Each template is a thin wrapper that pulls its content from a dedicated repository under nixcafe-develop. Templates are managed as Nix flake inputs (no git submodules).

Why Nix Flake Templates?

• Reproducible — identical development environments across Linux, macOS, and WSL
• No Docker overhead — native builds with Nix, no container runtime needed
• Declarative — define your dev tools, dependencies, and environment variables in one flake.nix
• Zero-install bootstrap — nix flake init -t + nix develop and you're ready to code
• Polyglot — one toolchain to manage dev environments for all programming languages
• CI-friendly — same environment locally and in GitHub Actions / GitLab CI
