Flake references (*flakerefs*) are a way to specify the location of a
|
||||
flake. These have two different forms:
|
||||
|
||||
* An attribute set representation, e.g.
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
{
|
||||
## Attribute set representation
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
{
|
||||
type = "github";
|
||||
owner = "NixOS";
|
||||
repo = "nixpkgs";
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The only required attribute is `type`. The supported types are
|
||||
listed below.

|

Example:

|

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