Templates are in the tree but are not provided in the flake

[Lord-Valen]

It is currently impossible to init with the templates in this repository.

I know, it's been a long road, but we are almost there, we still have to have something valuable to be shared on templates :), I cannot control other people repositories, so I've started an opinionated dendritic modules collection, from there, hopefully people will start looking to organize their modules and add community-driven collections in dendrix.

I'm looking to possibly contribute once I understand the ecosystem a little more. Is this repo supposed to be just for dendrix based modules and denful is based on modules added with den? Or what's the difference between the two repos?

This repo existed long before Den was even a thing. So dendrix is about community Dendritic repositories, see #23.

Initially when dendrix started we only had flake-parts based Dendritic, so the tooling in this repo is implemented around flake-parts. However as state in my "Why Den?" page, I found that most modules using flake.modules.* were not actually made for re-usability.

That page also documents why I made dendrix, to have an index of what aspects were people creating, and have a common "language", eg, create community discussions about organization of features that could be re-used.

So dendrix was born a lot earlier than Den, Den tries to solve the re-usability part and better organization that is complicated to do with flake-parts based repos. See the mentioned page at Den docs.

denful is for Den powered batteries, so it is specific to people using Den, like a lazyvim distribution where people enable Den aspects that affect NixOS/homeManager at a once.

dendrix is an index of repos made by people using the Dendritic pattern, not necesarily Den, not necesarily flake-parts (since we do have Dendritic with pure lib.evalModules).

I just have my current time priorities in finishing Den (I feel we are very close to v1.0) and then will focus on denful.

Ah ok, that makes more sense now. Appreciate the explaination!
