Workflow for developing non-nix repos

[eljamm]

The has been a similar discussion a while ago with a lot of great suggestions:

Contributing to a project that is not using Nix

Hello Nixers, I deeply wonder how do you guys go about making commits for a project on, for instance, github that has no *.nix files to build it, while not forcing a maintainer to use Nix? Do you make your own repo with *.nix files to build a project? Any of your tips on that matter would be extremely vital to me, as I don’t want to force a project maintainer to add another configuration files to their already complicated project… Thanks in advance !!
