The initial contents of the flake is specified by the 'templates.<name>' or 'defaultTemplate' output of another flake. E.g. outputs = { self }: { templates = { nixos-container = { path = ./nixos-container; description = "An example of a NixOS container"; }; }; }; allows $ nix flake init -t templates#nixos-container Also add a command 'nix flake new', which is identical to 'nix flake init' except that it initializes a specified directory rather than the current directory. |
