Before creating a pull request make sure that nix-build runs successfully.

Binary cache (Optional)

It can take some time to enter the development environment. To speed up and avoid building from source, you can use a binary cache. The same cache is used to speed up our GitHub Actions.

On NixOS

Add the following to your configuration.nix:

nix.settings.substituters = [ "https://nixos-homepage.cachix.org" ];
nix.settings.trusted-public-keys = [ "nixos-homepage.cachix.org-1:NHKBt7NjLcWfgkX4OR72q7LVldKJe/JOsfIWFDAn/tE=" ];

On non-NixOS

Add the following to the /etc/nix/nix.conf or ~/.config/nix/nix.conf:

substituters = ... https://nixos-homepage.cachix.org
trusted-public-keys = ... nixos-homepage.cachix.org-1:NHKBt7NjLcWfgkX4OR72q7LVldKJe/JOsfIWFDAn/tE=
