Configuration

Files

The only required file for specifying the developer environment.

Generated by devenv init and thoroughly documented, starting with the basics.

Same as devenv.nix, but not meant to be committed into the Git repository so that developers can override some things for their local use case.

Added in 1.10

Same as devenv.yaml, but not meant to be committed into the Git repository so that developers can override some things for their local use case.

Configuration for inputs and imports, allowing you to specify dependencies and how to compose them.

You can require a specific devenv version to make sure all developers use a compatible version:

devenv.yaml

# Enforce CLI matches the modules version
require_version: true

# Or use an explicit constraint
require_version: ">=2.1"

Pinned inputs, making sure your developer environment is reproducible.

direnv integration logic.

See direnv integration to set up your shell to automatically activate the developer environment when you cd into it.
