Possible Solution

Steps to Reproduce

[root@albert:~]# uname -a
Linux albert 5.14.9 #1-NixOS SMP Thu Sep 30 08:13:08 UTC 2021 aarch64 GNU/Linux

---

[root@albert:~]# nix-shell -p cachix --run "cachix use nrdxp"
Cachix configuration written to /etc/nixos/cachix.nix.
Binary cache nrdxp configuration written to /etc/nixos/cachix/nrdxp.nix.

To start using cachix add the following to your /etc/nixos/configuration.nix:

imports = [ ./cachix.nix ];

Then run:

$ sudo nixos-rebuild switch

[root@albert:~]# nix-shell https://github.com/divnix/devos/archive/main.tar.gz -A shell \
--run "bud get main"
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

[nrdxp]

Not 100% what the issue is atm, but as a workaround you should be able to simply clone the devos repo, enter its devshell and install from there.

I've tried this and it does seem to work..

Thank you!

same

problem is, main.tar.gz is no git repo, so it has no .git folder

we should fix the manual https://devos.divnix.com/start/index.html#get-the-template

That looks to be a bug in bud, that it needs to be run in a git repo

[blaggacao]

Shouldn't we drop support for a get command? Do we really need to wrap git clone?!?

It makes things seem overly magic and fool newcomers over the fact that it's +- a simple, banal git clone.

[blaggacao]

And this is not the first issue with this workflow that we've seen.

👍 for dropping bud get support
