# nixpkgs-url

- _**This repository is archived**_, the reason is described in [#24](https://github.com/kachick/nixpkgs-url/issues/24)

- This tool is unnecessary, at least in `Nix Flakes`

- For an example on 2023-08-06, I use `github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixpkgs-unstable` or `github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable` and `nix flake update --commit-lock-file`

For my personal use.

I'm a new to the Nix ecosystem.\

(If you know a better way, please let me know!)

I have `flake.nix` and `default.nix` in many repositories.\

They use different nipkgs url from the created timing.\

Personally, I use the latest [nixpkgs](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs) ref. But I avoid to specify `unstable`.\

When I want to bump it, I always visit the nixpkgs repository and copy and paste. It is a tedious task.

## Installation

[Prebuilt binaries](https://github.com/kachick/nixpkgs-url/releases)

```console

> curl -L https://github.com/kachick/nixpkgs-url/releases/latest/download/nixpkgs-url_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz | tar xvz -C ./ nixpkgs-url

> ./nixpkgs-url --version

...

```

In [Nix](https://nixos.org/), you can skip installation steps

```console

> nix run github:kachick/nixpkgs-url -- --version

nixpkgs-url dev (rev) # unknown

> nix run github:kachick/nixpkgs-url/v0.2.4 -- detect --current

...(With specific version)

```

`go install`

```console

> go install github.com/kachick/nixpkgs-url/cmd/nixpkgs-url@latest

go: downloading...

> ${GOPATH:-"$HOME/go"}/bin/nixpkgs-url --version

nixpkgs-url dev (rev) # unknown

```

## Usage

Providing two subcommands. I'm using `detect` in CI and `bump` in local.

```console

> nixpkgs-url detect --current

e57b65abbbf7a2d5786acc86fdf56cde060ed026

> nixpkgs-url bump && git commit -m 'Bump nixpkgs to latest' *.nix

[main 213d1bf] Bump nixpkgs to latest

## NOTE

- I guess there are many other syntax patterns in Nix files that I have not used. This code will not care about them.

- I don't know [nix-community/go-nix](https://github.com/nix-community/go-nix) will fit or not.

- I don't know if Nix provides this feature with the CLI or not.
