Example:

type = "github";

## URL-like syntax

```

Example:
|

github:NixOS/nixpkgs
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|

These are used on the command line as a more convenient alternative

|

to the attribute set representation. For instance, in the command
|
github:NixOS/nixpkgs
|
||||||
|
```
|

|
|

```console

These are used on the command line as a more convenient alternative

# nix build github:NixOS/nixpkgs#hello
|
to the attribute set representation. For instance, in the command

```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
`github:NixOS/nixpkgs` is a flake reference (while `hello` is an
|
```console
|
||||||
output attribute). They are also allowed in the `inputs` attribute
|
# nix build github:NixOS/nixpkgs#hello
|
||||||
of a flake, e.g.
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```nix
|
`github:NixOS/nixpkgs` is a flake reference (while `hello` is an
|
||||||
inputs.nixpkgs.url = github:NixOS/nixpkgs;
|
output attribute). They are also allowed in the `inputs` attribute
|
||||||
```
|
of a flake, e.g.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
is equivalent to
|
```nix
|
||||||
|
inputs.nixpkgs.url = github:NixOS/nixpkgs;
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```nix

is equivalent to

inputs.nixpkgs = {

inputs.nixpkgs = {
