Not to mention, any external\noptions from imported modules can be impossible to find without reading source\ncode. `optnix` can solve that problem for you, and allows you to inspect their\nvalues if possible; just like `nix repl` in most cases, but better.\n\nThere is a website for high-level documentation available at\nhttps://optnix.snare.dev.\n\nThis repository is hosted on [sr.ht](https://sr.ht/~watersucks/optnix), with an\nofficial mirror on [GitHub](https://github.com/water-sucks/optnix).\n\n## Install\n\n`optnix` is available in `nixpkgs`.\n\nMore installation instructions can be found on the\n[documentation website](https://optnix.snare.dev/installation.html).\n\n## Integrations\n\n`optnix` can be used as a Go library, and is used as such in the following\napplications.\n\n### [`nixos-cli`](https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-cli)\n\n`optnix` is used as a library in the `nixos option` subcommand of `nixos-cli`.\n\n`nixos option` requires zero configuration for discovery of NixOS options.\n\n## Contributing\n\nPrefer emailing patch sets to the\n[official development mailing list](mailto:~watersucks/optnix-devel@lists.sr.ht).\n\nWhile the official repository is located on\n[sr.ht](https://git.sr.ht/~watersucks/optnix), contributions are also accepted\nthrough GitHub using the\n[official mirror](https://github.com/water-sucks/optnix), if desired.\n\nAdditionally, filing GitHub issues is fine, but consider using the official\nissue tracker on [sr.ht](https://todo.sr.ht/~watersucks/optnix). All issues from\nGitHub will be mirrored there by me anyway.\n","funding_links":["https://github.com/sponsors/water-sucks","https://buymeacoffee.com/watersucks"],"categories":["Discovery"],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fwater-sucks%2Foptnix","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fwater-sucks%2Foptnix","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fwater-sucks%2Foptnix/lists"}
