Installation

Cargo

cargo install --git https://github.com/uncenter/nixpkgs-using.git

Nix

nix run github:uncenter/nixpkgs-using

Usage

nixpkgs-using [OPTIONS]

Requires a GitHub API token to use (provided through the --token flag or from the GITHUB_TOKEN/GH_TOKEN environment variables). With roughly 6,000 open PRs on NixOS/nixpkgs, ~60 API requests are made per run. GitHub's documentation on GraphQL ratelimiting isn't very clear so I can't say for certain how many runs it will take for the rate limit to be reached, but for good measure don't run it more then 5-ish times an hour.

--flake

Path to the flake to evaluate. Defaults to the FLAKE environment variable, if present.

--configuration

Configuration to extract packages from (e.g. darwinConfigurations.Katara). Defaults to *configurations.<hostname>, where the *configurations* is detected from your operating system and the presence of /etc/NIXOS.

--username

Username to locate Home Manager packages from.

--repository

The (GitHub) repository from which pull requests are fetched. Defaults to NixOS/nixpkgs.

--output

Output format for the results of the search. One of json or table. Defaults to table.

--only-updates

Exclude pull requests that are not updating a package (filters for pull requests that include a -> in the title, as is the preferred commit/pull request title style in NixOS/nixpkgs).

--only-new

Exclude pull requests that have already been shown by the tool (filters for pull requests created after the timestamp of the last nixpkgs-using invocation).
