> Start a shell in which the specified packages are available.
> See also: `nix-shell` for setting up development environments, `nix flake` for information about flakes.
> More information: <https://manned.org/nix3-shell>.
- Start an interactive shell with some packages from `nixpkgs`:
`nix shell {{nixpkgs#pkg1 nixpkgs#packageSet.pkg2 ...}}`
- Start a shell providing a package from an older version of `nixpkgs` (21.05):
`nix shell {{nixpkgs/nixos-21.05#pkg}}`
- Start a shell with the "default package" from a flake in the current directory, printing build logs if any builds happen:
`nix shell -L`
- Start a shell with a package from a flake on GitHub:
`nix shell {{github:owner/repo#pkg}}`
- Run a command in a shell with a package:
`nix shell {{nixpkgs#pkg}} -c {{some-cmd --someflag 'Some other arguments'}}`
