This repository tries to document how to write and use Nix flakes by providing a sequence of steps, starting with just about the simplest flake that can be written, and gradually building it up by adding more features.
Crucially, every step should
- consist of self-contained and correctly working code
- be documented with usage examples which are automatically tested for correctness.
As flake consists of a version-controlled filesystem tree with a flake.nix
file in its root, each step is in a separate commit of this repository. These commits are labelled with meaningfully named branches.
Currently available steps are:
