tl;dr; omnibin is a FUSE filesystem that puts every binary nixpkgs ever shipped on your $PATH. Nothing is installed. Nothing needs building. 0 bytes on disk until something actually reads a file. 😈 It’s 2026, why am I still installing packages individually?1 Why must I go through the ritual of adding a package to my configuration.nix, running nix-shell or succumb to the hellscape of nix-env -iA. Yes, I am a little inspired after watching DHH’s keynote at RailsConf 2026. I feel the same way about package management. ↩
