+      I have a lot of custom Bash scripts I use - some to perform simple commands like `git log` with some additional arguments, to more complex ones that mount and unmount USB devices plugged into my laptop.
+
+      A lot of people will post their scripts online along with their dotfiles for others to read and take inspiration from.
+
+      Mine are in my [nix config][0] directory and each script is added as a custom package I can install.
+
+      Here's an example of a script written as a Nix package:
+
+      ```nix
+      { pkgs }:
+
+      pkgs.writeShellApplication {
+        name = "get-tags";
+
+        runtimeInputs = with pkgs; [ git ];
+
+        text = ''
+          if [[ "$#" -gt 0 ]]; then
+            git tag | grep "$*"
+            exit 0
+          fi
+
+          git tag
+        '';
+      }
+      ```
+
+      It gets a filtered list of Git tags within a repository using the `git tag` and `grep` commands.
+
+      Nix automatically adds the shebang line and sets some default shell options, so those aren't included within the script text.
+
+      It also automatically runs `shellcheck` to ensure the script is correct.
+
+      ## Injecting Dependencies
+
+      This script depends on `git`. Without it, it would not run successfully.
+
+      Instead of assuming it is installed, `runtimeInputs` ensures any dependencies are present and the script can be executed, even if the dependencies aren't enabled globally.
+
+      Scripts can also rely on other scripts.
+
+      `get-tags` has a corresponding `count-tags` script that counts the returned tags:
+
+      ```nix
+      pkgs.writeShellApplication {
+        name = "count-tags";
+
+        runtimeInputs = with pkgs; [
+          coreutils
+          get-tags
+        ];
+
+        text = ''
+          get-tags "''${1:-}" | wc -l
+        '';
+      }
+      ```
+
+      `get-tags` is declared as a dependency, as well as `coreutils` to add the `wc` command that counts the lines.
+
+      ## Here's the thing
+
+      Using this approach gives me more robust scripts that are checked and verified, and will always have the required dependencies.
+
+      And, because they are added as custom Nix packages in my configuration, I am able to decide which scripts to install on which computer, giving me the most flexibility.
