Configuration
Each Hermit environment contains a bin/hermit.hcl file that can be used to
customise that Hermit environment.
Attributes¶
| Attribute | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|

inherit-parent |
bool? |

Per-environment Sources¶
Hermit supports three different manifest sources:
- Git repositories; any cloneable URI ending with
.git, eg.https://github.com/cashapp/hermit-packages.git. An optional#<tag>suffix can be added to checkout a specific tag. - Local filesystem, eg.
file:///home/user/my-packages.
This is mostly only useful for local development and testing. - Environment relative, eg.
env:///my-packages.
This will search for package manifests in the directory${HERMIT_ENV}/my-packages. Useful for local overrides.
