Here's an example (for the rust template):

# Initialize in the current project
nix flake init -t github:user1012007/dev-templates#rust

# Create a new project
nix flake new -t github:user1012007/dev-templates#rust ${NEW_PROJECT_DIRECTORY}

Once your preferred template has been initialized, you can use the provided shell in two ways:

1. If you have nix-direnv installed, you can initialize the environment by running direnv allow.
2. If you don't have nix-direnv installed, you can run nix develop to open up the Nix-defined shell.

The sections below list what each template includes. In all cases, you're free to add and remove packages as you see fit; the templates are just boilerplate.
