데브허브 | DEVHUB | The ONLY package manager you'll ever need for macOS
Nix is absolutely annihilating Homebrew as the go-to package manager for macOS. This video shows the true power of functional package management. Watch as I demonstrate how Nix single-handedly replaces Homebrew, MacUp, and version managers while handling system configs, brew-specific packages, and even Mac App Store apps, all from a single declarative configuration. This video shows you why the Nix's steep learning curve is worth every second when you can reproduce your entire Mac setup in record time, making Homebrew look like a toy from the stone age of package management.
