A collection of Nix expressions and snippets that show you how you can get
common tasks done in Nix.
Target audience are those that have read the
Nix Manual and found it great reference
material but need more examples to be more productive with the following
toolset:
I recommend Nix 1.9+ (although most exercises should work in 1.8) and
installing nix-repl:
$ nix-env -i nix-repl
Alternatively just start the nix-shell at the root of this repository:
$ nix-shell
To get started doing warmups the following snippets provide examples and
exercises to get acquainted with the different builtin types in the Nix
expression language.
Start by using the nix-repl.
