@tomeon Thank you for your hard work on this. I have very limited experience with Nix but happy to test this PR whenever you need it. |

NixOS doesn't have /bin/bash. Replace it by `/usr/bin/env bash`.
On most OS, shebangs can only specify a single parameter.
including a definition of the `bashcov` derivation and a `numtide/devshell`-based development shell.
by not requiring Git for listing the files that should be included in the gem. Instead assume that the entire build sandbox source directory should be included, minus the files in test/, spec/, and features/.
via the following:
1. cd.sh: replace use of HOME with OLDPWD,
2. delete.sh: Use `$BASH` rather than `/usr/bin/env bash` as the
interpreter for `tmp.sh`, and
3. Use `-execdir` rather than `-exec` when executing scripts with
`find`.
in order to support systems that do not provide /bin/bash.
if it /bin/bash does not exist.
as this is available in the Nix sandbox while /usr/bin/env (Aruba's default, used with `/usr/bin/env bash`) is not.
so that `nix flake check` builds and tests `bashcov`.
that includes information on running Bashcov with Nix
which updates `Gemfile.nix.lock` and `gemset.nix` if, and only if, doing so fixes errors running `nix build`.
that opens a PR with changes to `Gemfile.nix.lock` and `gemset.nix` if any were made by `update-deps-conservative`.
as such failures may be due to an out-of-date `Gemfile.nix.lock` and/or `gemset.nix`.
for (among other things) native extension compilation prerequisites.
Relates to #72 .
This branch introduces support for building Bashcov with Nix. My hope is that some of this code can be downstreamed to Nixpkgs to satisfy NixOS/nixpkgs#242854. In the meantime, the changes in this PR permit Nix users to incorporate Bashcov into their Nix environments / NixOS configurations by using either Nix flakes or legacy Nix code-fetching methods.
Additionally, this PR introduces a Nix-based development environment that can be entered by executing
nix developfrom within the repository. This development environment includes Ruby 3.2, plusbundixfor helping to maintain thegemset.nixfile that acts as a gem specification for consumption by the NixbundlerEnvBundler environment builder.I plan to add support for executing Nix builds and tests within the GitHub actions workflow introduced in #76.
