A modern, delicious implementation of the Nix package manager, focused on correctness, usability, and growth — and committed to doing right by its community
When we do something like 'nix flake update --override-input nixpkgs
...', the override is now kept on subsequent calls. (If you don't want
this behaviour, you can use --no-write-lock-file.)
Nix is a new take on package management that is fairly unique. Because of its
purity aspects, a lot of issues found in traditional package managers don't
appear with Nix.
To find out more about the tool, usage and installation instructions, please
read the manual, which is available on the Nix website at
