cargo-nixpackage

📦 A small utility to scaffold Rust projects with Nix Flake support.

cargo-nixpackage helps you quickly set up a Rust project using nix, automatically generating a flake.nix, initializing a Git repository, and creating wrapper scripts for Cargo commands inside a reproducible development environment.

✨ Features

• Generates a minimal flake.nix for your Rust project
• Sets up a development shell with rustc, cargo, rustfmt, clippy, and fish
• Provides simple wrappers for:
  • cargo init
  • cargo run
  • cargo check
  • cargo clippy
• Customizable target system (defaults to x86_64-linux)
• Git repository auto-initialization

🧪 Usage

Create a new project

cargo nixpackage new my_project --system x86_64-linux
cd my_project
nix develop
