Nux, a wrapper over nix-env written in rust. BETA SOFTWARE

Why?

Nux simplies the complicated sturcture with nix, and nix-env. This project is inspired by projects like hey from hlissner’s nix dotfiles. Unlike simple wrappers, like hey, it provides a progress bar and some other nice features

Import note

Please do not this in production. It may destroy your system. This is BETA software. Feel free to test at your own risk. Contributions are welcome. Nux only works on NixOS for now!
