Usage

nixpkgs-using [OPTIONS] <COMMAND>

Option	Description
--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 *configurations* is detected from your operating system and the presence of /etc/NIXOS.
--username	Username to locate Home Manager packages from. Defaults to the username of the user running the process.
--json	Output the results as JSON.

list

List the detected packages from evaluating your flake.

prs

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 pull requests on NixOS/nixpkgs, ~60 API requests are made per run to fetch 100 pull requests at a time.. 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.

--repository

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

--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).
