Welcome to the 10th Nix pill. In the previous

one of the powerful features of nix, automatic discovery of runtime
dependencies and finalized the GNU hello world package.

In return from vacation, we want to hack a little the GNU hello world
program. The nix-build tool creates an isolated environment for building
the derivation, we want to do the same in order to modify some source
files of the project.
Having returned from vacation, we want to hack a little the GNU hello
world program. The nix-build tool allows for an isolated environment
while building the derivation. Additionally, we'd like the same
isolation in order to modify some source files of the project.

The <link

tool drops us in a shell by setting up the necessary environment
variables to hack a derivation. It does not build the derivation, it
variables to hack on a derivation. It does not build the derivation, it
only serves as a preparation so that we can run the build steps manually.

With <command>nix-shell</command> we're able to drop into an isolated
environment for developing a project, with the necessary dependencies
just like <command>nix-build</command> does, except we can build and
just like <command>nix-build</command> does. Additionally, we can build and
debug the project manually, step by step like you would do in any other
operating system. Note that we did never install <command>gcc</command>,
operating system. Note that we never installed <command>gcc</command>,
<command>make</command>, etc. system-wide. These tools and libraries are
available per-build.
