Utils so good, they make you nut A collection of utilities for the Nix package manager

Available Utilities

nixfetch (WIP)

nixfetch fetches a file, adds it to the nix store and returns JSON data for the newly added path: mainly the file path and the hash. It is ultimately a wrapper around nix store prefetch-file. The nix store is used to avoid storing duplicates of the same file.

Building

You know how to use Rust, yes?

Contributing

Do you know how to use Rust? I don't. Make a pull request if you find one of my many mistakes. You may unlock the golden shelf skin at 99 mistakes found.

The repository follows a very simple structure: each utility must be its own workspace, and common functions should go under the commons workspace.

Adding new utilities

This is a monorepo for utility wrappers around the nix package manager, focusing on the package manager itself rather than nixos-rebuild unlike the awesome nh project. If you wish to add an utility, feel free to.
