== Nix-shell shebangs You can use `nix-shell` to run scripts in arbitrary languages, providing the necessary dependencies. This is particularly convenient for standalone scripts because you don’t need to create a repo and write a separate `flake.nix`. The script should start with two ``shebang'' (`#!`) commands. The first should invoke `nix-shell`. The second should declares the scrpt interpreter and any dependencies. Here are some examples. === A Bash script depending on a package in the nixpkgs repo. Script: [source,bash,linenums] .... include::bash-with-nixpkg.sh[] .... Output: .... $# ./bash-with-nixpkg.sh .... === A Python script depending on a package in the nixpkgs repo. Script: [source,bash,linenums] .... include::python-with-nixpkg.sh[] .... Output: .... $# ./python-with-nixpkg.sh ....
