nix-select

Find it at: https://git.clan.lol/clan/select

Do you find accessing values from lists cumbersome? Is builtins.elemAt bringing you down? What about filtering nested dictionaries for specific keys?

For this reason, we hacked together an unmatched selection experience. It is written in pure Nix, without dependencies, to make your life 100% more “selectful.”

To use nix-select with the clan CLI, just run clan select.

Prominent features include:

• Globs: *
• {a,b} (set-based selection)
• .0 (index-based access)

Example using the Clan CLI:

clan select 'nixosConfigurations.*.config.clan.core.vars.generators.*.files.*.{path,secret}'

This will print all variables defined in your Clan.

New documentation site and weekly new meetup

Last week, we added a new documentation hub for clan at docs.clan.lol. We now have weekly office hours where people are invited to hangout and ask questions. They are every Wednesday 15:30 UTC (17:30 CEST) in our jitsi. Otherwise drop by in our matrix channel.
