This section covers the tools included in this template's shell.nix. They're available automatically when you enter the project directory thanks to direnv.
These aren't arbitrary choices—each solves a specific friction point in development workflows:
- Just - Command runner for memorable aliases
- cheat - Quick reference for commands you forget
- Jujutsu - Git-compatible VCS with better UX
- Presenterm - Terminal-based presentations
- Asciinema - Record terminal sessions
- mdbook - Generate documentation sites
All are installed via Nix, so they're reproducible across machines and don't pollute your global system.
