Based on #290

Interpolation

There's a .env file not added to git.

ADDRESS="http://localhost:3000"

A devshell user would like to open the address in a browser.

She can write this expression.

devShells.default = devshell.mkShell {
  bash.extra = ''
    set -a
    source .env
  '';
  devshell.menu.interpolate = true;
  commands = [
    { 
       package = "hello"; help = "open $ADDRESS";
    } 
  ];
};

And get this devshell menu.

🔨 Welcome to devshell

[[general commands]]

  hello - open http://localhost:3000
  menu  - prints this menu

[devshell]$

I'd instead change it for everyone or make it configurable on the command level. With flake-parts, commands can get composed from different places, and then it's hard to know how the help is going to be interpolated from the different leafs.

Let's also make the "name" more strict, so it cannot include characters like $

Hmm, what can be the error on macOS?

UPD: it was due to longer than devshell.menu.width lines on macOS

Although this is not a moderated repository. Recent Moderation Team actions has scared me away from the Nix Community.

I'm sorry, won't be available for review. This has nothing to do with you and your effort which is really commendable. Keep the spirit up!
