Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the [Nix ](https://nixos.org/nix/ ) package
2015-05-22 13:10:47 +00:00
manager. It is periodically built and tested by the [hydra ](http://hydra.nixos.org/ )
2015-05-22 09:43:39 +00:00
build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add
[nixpkgs-channels ](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git ) as a remote:
2015-05-22 08:55:06 +00:00
```
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
```

For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
2017-10-05 15:19:11 +00:00
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. `nixos-17.09` for the latest
2015-05-22 13:10:47 +00:00
release and `nixos-unstable` for the latest successful build of master:
2015-05-22 08:55:06 +00:00
```
% git remote update channels
2017-10-05 15:19:11 +00:00
% git rebase channels/nixos-17.09
2015-05-22 08:55:06 +00:00
```
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs `master` .
