-<title>Hacking</title>
-
-<para>This section provides some notes on how to hack on Nix. To get
-the latest version of Nix from GitHub:
-<screen>
-$ git clone https://github.com/NixOS/nix.git
-$ cd nix
-</screen>
-</para>
-
-<para>To build Nix for the current operating system/architecture use
-
-<screen>
-$ nix-build
-</screen>
-
-or if you have a flakes-enabled nix:
-
-<screen>
-$ nix build
-</screen>
-
-This will build <literal>defaultPackage</literal> attribute defined in the <literal>flake.nix</literal> file.
-
-To build for other platforms add one of the following suffixes to it: aarch64-linux,
-i686-linux, x86_64-darwin, x86_64-linux.
-
-i.e.
-
-<screen>
-nix-build -A defaultPackage.x86_64-linux
-</screen>
-
-</para>
-
-<para>To build all dependencies and start a shell in which all
-environment variables are set up so that those dependencies can be
-found:
-<screen>
-$ nix-shell
-</screen>
-To build Nix itself in this shell:
-<screen>
-[nix-shell]$ ./bootstrap.sh
-[nix-shell]$ ./configure $configureFlags
-[nix-shell]$ make -j $NIX_BUILD_CORES
-</screen>
-To install it in <literal>$(pwd)/inst</literal> and test it:
-<screen>
-[nix-shell]$ make install
-[nix-shell]$ make installcheck
-[nix-shell]$ ./inst/bin/nix --version
-nix (Nix) 2.4
-</screen>
-
-To run a functional test:
-          
-<screen>
-make tests/test-name-should-auto-complete.sh.test
-</screen>
-
-If you have a flakes-enabled nix you can replace:
-
-<screen>
-$ nix-shell
-</screen>
-
-by:
-
-<screen>
-$ nix develop
-</screen>
-
