Nixpkgs

Nixpkgs is a Git repository hosted on GitHub.

It contains:

  • a large collection of software that can be built with Nix
  • the implementation of NixOS
  • a canonical library of Nix functions (sometimes called “Nix’ standard library”)

It is not the only source of Nix software and libraries, but it is the most commonly-used one.
