Skopeo is used to pull images from a Docker registry (instead of a Docker deamon in a VM). An image reference is specified with its name and its digest which is an immutable image identifier (unlike image name and tag). Skopeo can be used to get the digest of an image, for instance: $ skopeo inspect docker://docker.io/nixos/nix:1.11 | jq -r '.Digest' |

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the Hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-18.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
