## Packaging for nixpkgs

This template is structured for easy packaging in nixpkgs:

- All sources in `src/`
- `flake.nix` provides a devShell and template
- Add a `default.nix` or package expression as needed for nixpkgs

See [nixpkgs Lua packaging docs](https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#lua) for more details.

## Included Project Layout

```
 src/
  main.lua
```

You can use this as a starting point for your own Lua project.
