Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the [Nix](https://nixos.org/nix/) package
|
|
manager. It is periodically built and tested by the [Hydra](https://hydra.nixos.org/)
|
|
build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add
|
|
[nixpkgs-channels](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git) as a remote:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
% git remote add channels https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
|
|
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. `nixos-19.03` for the latest
|
|
release and `nixos-unstable` for the latest successful build of master:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
% git remote update channels
|
|
% git rebase channels/nixos-19.03
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For pull requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs `master`.
|
|
|
|
[NixOS](https://nixos.org/nixos/) Linux distribution source code is located inside
|
|
`nixos/` folder.
