I have some comments / suggestions, in 8f6694d. (Feel free to just add commit to this branch)

• The devshell and build configuration is small enough that it should probably just be inlined into the flake
  • Using ./. for the source, when in a git repository, already filters out all the .gitignored files. Don't need the big intersection.
• Added language servers (gopls + golangci-lint-langserver) to the devshell
• Used flake-utils to generate for both mac and linux (both x86 and aarch64)
• Setting outputs.overlays.default allows the following use:

{
  inputs.gh-dash.url = "github:bryceberger/gh-dash/8f6694d17c53b36ed079c0c80f82f32349f048f3";
  outputs = {
    nixpkgs,
    gh-dash,
    ...
  }: let
    system = "x86_64-linux";
    pkgs = import nixpkgs {
      inherit system;
      overlays = [gh-dash.overlays.default];
    };
  in {
    devShells.${system}.default = pkgs.mkShell {
      # the following gets gh-dash version 4.10, instead of the 4.8.1 currently in nixpkgs
      packages = [pkgs.gh-dash];
    };
  };
}

Thanks for the tips @bryceberger, I'm still learning nix so it's pretty helpful!

In addition, I'm actually thinking of using https://goreleaser.com/customization/nix/?h=nix to publish it to nixpkgs.

nixpkgs is different from nur --- the former is the official distribution of nixos, the latter is a collection of user packages. Similar to the Arch repos / AUR, if you're familiar with that.

gh-dash is already packaged in nixpkgs: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/by-name/gh/gh-dash/package.nix

I'm not entirely familiar with either the NUR or GoReleaser, so can't help you there.
