[![Code Triagers Badge](https://www.codetriage.com/nixos/nixpkgs/badges/users.svg)](https://www.codetriage.com/nixos/nixpkgs)
Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the [Nix](https://nixos.org/nix/) package
manager. It is periodically built and tested by the [Hydra](https://hydra.nixos.org/)
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:
```
% git remote add channels https://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](https://nixos.org/nixos/) Linux distribution source code is located inside
`nixos/` folder.
