Ask your question!

I use NixOS, btw.
I noticed there is a flake available for Wezterm.
I dont see that this flake exposes a NixOS module for wezterm configuration or something else.
So, what other advantage does this flake provides?
Besides pinning of a wezterm version in a lock file.

running the nightly build.

[refaelsh]

Is that the only advantage?

[nekowinston]

yes, there's already a home-manager module to configure wezterm, and you can use programs.wezterm.package to set it to use this repo's nightly overlay.

Hey @nekowinston, could you expand on how to set home-manager to pick the nightly build? what is the value that needs to be assigned to package ?
