Yueh-Shun Li fe656cbe32 .gitignore: ignore .direnv 
Add a rule to .gitignore to exclude .direnv, the name of the temporary
directory created by direnv, from the source tree.

Commit f0160baa7a (".envrc: init for new shell.nix") is introduced to
the "master" branch, invoking an official .envrc direnv configuration
when a developer enters the Nixpkgs source directory.

When checking out the stable-release branches, the rule to exclude the
temporary directory .direnv got lost from .gitignore, and the temporary
directory became visible to source control, creating a risk of polluting
the source tree.

This patch backports the .gitignore rule against .direnv to the stable
release branch and eliminates such risk of pollution.

Even though the necessity of .envrc inside the source tree is under
debate, the opinions from both sides support the non-negligible use of
direct as a developer tool by Nixpkgs contributors, and it would be
beneficial to have a .gitignore rule to exclude the corresponding
temporary files whether we have an official .envrc or not.

Partially backport f0160baa7a

Nixpkgs is a collection of over 100,000 software packages that can be installed with the Nix package manager. It also implements NixOS, a purely-functional Linux distribution.

Manuals

  • NixOS Manual - how to install, configure, and maintain a purely-functional Linux distribution
  • Nixpkgs Manual - contributing to Nixpkgs and using programming-language-specific Nix expressions
  • Nix Package Manager Manual - how to write Nix expressions (programs), and how to use Nix command line tools

Community

Other Project Repositories

The sources of all official Nix-related projects are in the NixOS organization on GitHub. Here are some of the main ones:

  • Nix - the purely functional package manager
  • NixOps - the tool to remotely deploy NixOS machines
  • nixos-hardware - NixOS profiles to optimize settings for different hardware
  • Nix RFCs - the formal process for making substantial changes to the community
  • NixOS homepage - the NixOS.org website
  • hydra - our continuous integration system
  • NixOS Artwork - NixOS artwork

Continuous Integration and Distribution

Nixpkgs and NixOS are built and tested by our continuous integration system, Hydra.

Artifacts successfully built with Hydra are published to cache at https://cache.nixos.org/. When successful build and test criteria are met, the Nixpkgs expressions are distributed via Nix channels.

Contributing

Nixpkgs is among the most active projects on GitHub. While thousands of open issues and pull requests might seem a lot at first, it helps consider it in the context of the scope of the project. Nixpkgs describes how to build tens of thousands of pieces of software and implements a Linux distribution. The GitHub Insights page gives a sense of the project activity.

Community contributions are always welcome through GitHub Issues and Pull Requests.

For more information about contributing to the project, please visit the contributing page.

Donations

The infrastructure for NixOS and related projects is maintained by a nonprofit organization, the NixOS Foundation. To ensure the continuity and expansion of the NixOS infrastructure, we are looking for donations to our organization.

You can donate to the NixOS foundation through SEPA bank transfers or by using Open Collective:
