Building a Go Module with Flakes

This flake shows how to build a custom Go module and add it to your Devbox project. In this case, we're building the Ory CLI

This example uses buildGoModule from Nix to build the module as a package in our Flake. You can view the flake.nix file in the ory-cli folder to see a commented example of how this function is used.

We import the ory CLI in our project by adding it to our packages in devbox.json:

{
  "packages": [
    "path:ory-cli"
  ],
   ...
}

Note: you will need Devbox 0.4.7 or later for this to work. You can use this as an example to create your own templates.
