Fixing Shell with Nix + resholve :)

GitHub Sponsors Profile

I have (at least) three weird superpowers:

I take umbrage at having to repeatedly solve the same problem with brute-force or suboptimal tools.
Once I take umbrage, I have to avoid or fix the cause.
Once I commit to fixing the cause, I am a force of nature.

The top few things on my stack at the moment are:

Lack of Nix-ecosystem support for packaging and interconnecting shell modules (see resholve)
Nix installer issues

🚀 Help update the macOS installer for Catalina (https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/3212)
🚀 Update the macOS installer for Big Sur (https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/3996)
Sanding down the sharp edges around FileVault caused by the read-only root on macOS Catalina+ (https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/4181)
support --uninstall
support curing problems with active installs

Rough edges on shell history (see shell-hag)
Poor composability of bash profile/prompt modules (see shellswain)

Multi-year yak shaves are eventually rewarding, but the recognition and validation of your sponsorship will go a long way towards keeping my tank topped up.
