I recommend only using this repo for inspiration and instead use this boilerplate

FAQ

• What is nix?
  Nix is a tool that takes a unique approach to package management and system configuration.
• Nix benefits
  Nix is reproducible, declarative and reliable.
• Why flakes?
  Flakes allow you to specify your code's dependencies (e.g. remote Git repositories) in a declarative way, simply by listing them inside a flake.nix file.
