# Dev Environments
On NixOS, in the global environment (home-manager), you can install only some general
development tools and SDKs, such as `git`, `vim`, `emacs`, `tmux`, `zsh`, etc. For the
dependencies of the project itself, it is best to have a separate `flake.nix` for each
project to manage their respective development environments.
For simplicity, you might also consider creating some general `flake.nix` templates for
common languages in advance, which can be copied and modified as needed.
Various plugins for editors like `neovim` will also have their own dependencies. These
dependencies can be considered to be added to the IDE's own environment through parameters
like `programs.neovim.extraPackages` in home-manager, ensuring that the IDE itself can run
properly without polluting the global environment.
## Templates for Development Environments
We have learned how to build development environments, but it's a bit tedious to write
`flake.nix` for each project.
