[GRASS-dev] New features provided by Nix

[Ivan Mincik]

Hi people !

Recently, I had a pleasure to join GRASS Community Meeting in Prague and 
had a presentation about Nix [1] and potential benefits it can bring to 
a GRASS community. It was quite well received and now it is a real thing 
[2] (+ few more PRs).


# What Nix can do for you ?

1. Create a full development environment by running single `nix develop` 
command

2. Run GRASS directly from a Git source code (from any branch, tag or 
checkout which contains nix files added in #3889)

3. A lot more


# How to use it ?

Please check out PR #3889 [1] description for the instructions. It is 
just about installing Nix and then you can start running some magic 
commands.

I am still struggling how to integrate this information to a GRASS Wiki.


# My Nix presentation

Markdown version of my GRASS Community meeting presentation containing 
some more very interesting examples can be found here [3].

Have a nice day !
