Descrizione
Just a little suggestion here:
I (and at least one of my colleagues) often create ad-hoc nix shells for existing and new projects, and would love it if we could effectively bootstrap a little nix project environment that uses niv using niv init --shell or similar. If --shell is provided and there is no existing shell.nix, a tiny shell.nix template that gets its packages from niv's nixpkgs would be created.
I know this is probably somewhat orthogonal to the tool's goals, and of course what constitutes a "good" shell.nix is a matter of opinion, but I think this would be a real timesaver for many users.
Thanks again for niv!
