    nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
    git-remote-s3.url = "github:sobelio/git-remote-s3-nix";
  };

  outputs = { self, nixpkgs, git-remote-s3, ... }:
    let
      system = "x86_64-linux"; # or your system
      pkgs = nixpkgs.legacyPackages.${system};
    in {
      devShells.${system}.default = pkgs.mkShell {
        buildInputs = [
          git-remote-s3.packages.${system}.default
          pkgs.git
        ];
      };
    };
}
