🌿 Pesto

Use Nix and Bazel to build C++ projects on Linux:

Choose from thousands of packages: the Nix Packages collection is one of the largest Linux package repositories, with over 60 000 packages. Pesto uses it to provide C++ toolchain, build system and prebuilt libraries.
Never worry about your development environment again: Nix makes it perfectly reproducible and self-contained. No need to use Docker containers.
Speed up your builds and tests: Bazel provides fast and correct incremental builds.
Enjoy IDE support with compilation database and Clangd
Format and lint your code with Clang Format and Clang Tidy
Choose between any version of Clang or GCC
