 You can easily switch nix shells when you cd into different projects with nix-direnv. [https://github.com/nix-community/nix-direnv View their guide here]
-==== Optimize the reloads ====
-Nix Flakes has a Nix evaluation caching mechanism. Is it possible to expose that somehow to automatically trigger direnv reloads?
-With the previous solution, direnv would only reload if the flake.nix or flake.lock files have changed. This is not completely precise as the flake.nix file might import other files in the repository.
-==== Setting the bash prompt like nix-shell ====
-A [https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/4189 new experimental feature of flakes] allow to setup a bash-prompt per flake:
-<syntaxHighlight lang=nix>
-{
-  description = "...";
-  nixConfig.bash-prompt = "\[nix-develop\]$ ";
-  ...
-}
-</syntaxHighlight>
-Otherwise it's also possible to set the <code>nix develop</code> bash prompt system wide using the [https://nixos.org/manual/nix/unstable/command-ref/conf-file.html nix.conf option bash-prompt]. (On nixos I think it is set in <code>nix.extraOptions</code>)
