> Flakes are coupled to git. You need to remember to stage changes whenever you do Ctrl+S in your editor before rebuilding.

You only need to `git add` the file once.

You do not need to stage every change after that before flakes can "see" the change.

Yes, you are right - I misremembered this detail. My problem at the the time was I didn't want to commit my flake.nix to the repository in one of my previous work places (for political reasons). So I had to unstage and restage it every time I created a new commit.

Does the same workplace not allow people to include config related to their editors and so on?

Even better, you can `git add -N` and just record the intent to include the file in a later commit, without staging its current contents. Nix seems happy with that.
