Helix is available as a [flake](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes) in the project
root. Use `nix develop` to spin up a reproducible development shell. Outputs are
cached for each push to master using [Cachix](https://www.cachix.org/). The
flake is configured to automatically make use of this cache assuming the user
accepts the new settings on first use.

Generalised to multiple runtime directories with priorities (#5411) * Generalised to multiple runtime directories with priorities This is an implementation for #3346. Previously, one of the following runtime directories were used: 1. `$HELIX_RUNTIME` 2. sibling directory to `$CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR` 3. subdirectory of user config directory 4. subdirectory of path to helix executable The first directory provided / found to exist in this order was used as a root for all runtime file searches (grammars, themes, queries). This change lowers the priority of `$HELIX_RUNTIME` so that the user config runtime has higher priority. More significantly, all of these directories are now searched for runtime files, enabling a user to override default or system-level runtime files. If the same file name appears in multiple runtime directories, the following priority is now used: 1. sibling directory to `$CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR` 2. subdirectory of user config directory 3. `$HELIX_RUNTIME` 4. subdirectory of path to helix executable One exception to this rule is that a user can have a `themes` directory directly in the user config directory that has higher piority to `themes` directories in runtime directories. That behaviour has been preserved. As part of implementing this feature `theme::Loader` was simplified and the cycle detection logic of the theme inheritance was improved to cover more cases and to be more explicit. * Removed AsRef usage to avoid binary growth * Health displaying ;-separated runtime dirs * Changed HELIX_RUNTIME build from src instructions * Updated doc for more detail on runtime directories * Improved health symlink printing and theme cycle errors The health display of runtime symlinks now prints both ends of the link. Separate errors are given when theme file is not found and when the only theme file found would form an inheritence cycle. * Satisfied clippy on passing Path * Clarified highest priority runtime directory purpose * Further clarified multiple runtime details in book Also gave markdown headings to subsections.

### Configuring Helix's runtime files
Generalised to multiple runtime directories with priorities (#5411) * Generalised to multiple runtime directories with priorities This is an implementation for #3346. Previously, one of the following runtime directories were used: 1. `$HELIX_RUNTIME` 2. sibling directory to `$CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR` 3. subdirectory of user config directory 4. subdirectory of path to helix executable The first directory provided / found to exist in this order was used as a root for all runtime file searches (grammars, themes, queries). This change lowers the priority of `$HELIX_RUNTIME` so that the user config runtime has higher priority. More significantly, all of these directories are now searched for runtime files, enabling a user to override default or system-level runtime files. If the same file name appears in multiple runtime directories, the following priority is now used: 1. sibling directory to `$CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR` 2. subdirectory of user config directory 3. `$HELIX_RUNTIME` 4. subdirectory of path to helix executable One exception to this rule is that a user can have a `themes` directory directly in the user config directory that has higher piority to `themes` directories in runtime directories. That behaviour has been preserved. As part of implementing this feature `theme::Loader` was simplified and the cycle detection logic of the theme inheritance was improved to cover more cases and to be more explicit. * Removed AsRef usage to avoid binary growth * Health displaying ;-separated runtime dirs * Changed HELIX_RUNTIME build from src instructions * Updated doc for more detail on runtime directories * Improved health symlink printing and theme cycle errors The health display of runtime symlinks now prints both ends of the link.

That behaviour has been preserved. As part of implementing this feature `theme::Loader` was simplified and the cycle detection logic of the theme inheritance was improved to cover more cases and to be more explicit. * Removed AsRef usage to avoid binary growth * Health displaying ;-separated runtime dirs * Changed HELIX_RUNTIME build from src instructions * Updated doc for more detail on runtime directories * Improved health symlink printing and theme cycle errors The health display of runtime symlinks now prints both ends of the link. Separate errors are given when theme file is not found and when the only theme file found would form an inheritence cycle. * Satisfied clippy on passing Path * Clarified highest priority runtime directory purpose * Further clarified multiple runtime details in book Also gave markdown headings to subsections. Fixed a error with table indentation not building table that also appears present on master. --------- Co-authored-by: Paul Scott <paul.scott@anu.edu.au> Co-authored-by: Blaž Hrastnik <blaz@mxxn.io>

#### Multiple runtime directories
When Helix finds multiple runtime directories it will search through them for files in the
following order:
1. `runtime/` sibling directory to `$CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR` directory (this is intended for
developing and testing helix only).
2. `runtime/` subdirectory of OS-dependent helix user config directory.
3. `$HELIX_RUNTIME`.
4. `runtime/` subdirectory of path to Helix executable.
This order also sets the priority for selecting which file will be used if multiple runtime
directories have files with the same name.
