Caching nix-shell?

[jwoudenberg]

First, awesome project, thank you!

I have a question / feature request (not sure which yet).

I'm working on a repo that's not (yet) using a default.nix to build the project, but is using a shell.nix to set up a development environment. This Github action looks like a perfect tool to automatically keep the cache of the environment up to date so users of the repo don't need to build the environment themselves.

Is there a way to run use this action to build a shell.nix rather than a default.nix file?

There's an open issue to document this at cachix: cachix/cachix#52 (comment)

This seems like another use case for #8

I've just released v3 that will also cache nix-shell calls.
