These changes make it easier to test language related changes, for contributors who hack on Helix in Helix.

  1. A symlink is created from languages.toml -> .helix/languages.toml This makes changes to languages.toml visible when you use hx within the repository.
  2. Export $HELIX_RUNTIME to point to runtime/ in the Nix devshell. This makes changes to queries under runtime/queries/*/*.scm take effect when you invoke Helix as you normally do with hx
