I've spent the day trying to get this setup working with GitHub and given the number of gotcha's I encountered, it seemed like a good idea to document how I finally got this working with as few hacks as possible. There's a lot of documentation out there (some of it old and misleading) and committing here for posterity will help me remember this when I inevitably need to do this again.

Rationale

Passwords are simply not enough these days. Regardless of the company, breaches (and the associated Personally Identifiable Information harvested) are a matter of not if, but when. There are a number of things you can do to protect yourself, but being on the tin-foil-hat side of paranoia, means there are a few Commandents that I adhere to (and recommend for other folks)[Insert link to Fight Club Rules for the Secure Internet].

That being said, if you use 2-factor authentication and have committed to using a hardware token such as the Yubikey, then you're already ahead of the curve. The problem is that wh

<@lxsameer:matrix.org> hey folks, do you know how I can extend the following derivation: drv = pkgs.haskell.pcakages.ghc96.withPackages (p: (with p;[ .....]); with more haskell packages that use the same compiler instance?

(pkgs.haskell.packages.ghc96.override { overrides = hself: hsuper: { ...; } }).withPackages ...;
