-# templates/_wrapper
-
-This directory contains wrapper flakes for the nixvim templates.
-The purpose of the wrappers is to be able to run tests on templates deterministically on the branch or PR that is being worked on.
-It does this by overwriting the url of nixvim and other dependencies to a path within this repo.
-
-It is also used in the github workflows, so that we can always check if the template is working or not
-
-NOTE: It is important that we do not commit the `flake.lock` files here as that could cause problems with the check once any files are updated outside the wrapper.
-That is why we add them to `.gitignore`.
-Finally, the `nix flake check` command for templates should be called with the `--no-write-lock-file` flag.
