Hi everyone, I have been using b4 for the last few days as a new contributor and it's been a great experience so far. It's definitely a full packed tool with lots of features but it's made sending and rerolling patch series much easier. I just tried the `b4 review tui` feature and that was pretty awesome too. I did find it a but hard to see the inline Agent notes however. I had to enter the "Reply mode" to see them rather than in the "View mode" (these are the inline notes and not the high-level commit notes). In any case, I run NixOS and I wanted to share my current NixOS module for b4 in case anyone else is interested in using it that way. I've upstreamed it to home-manager here [1] and you can see it in my current NixOS configuration here [2]. If you have more suggestions or ideas on how I could improve the module please let me know. Thanks! [1] https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/pull/9658 [2] https://github.com/fzakaria/nix-home/blob/6f0e8ece2749db124e99fd7630cb9e8fc8b3ffaf/modules/home-manager/b4.nix
