2016-04-29Support Git repos in the Nix pathEelco Dolstra
E.g. $ nix-build -I nixpkgs=git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs '<nixpkgs>' -A hello This is not extremely useful yet because you can't specify a branch/revision.
2016-04-29Add fetchgit builtinEelco Dolstra
The function builtins.fetchgit fetches Git repositories at evaluation time, similar to builtins.fetchTarball. (Perhaps the name should be changed, being confusing with respect to Nixpkgs's fetchgit function, with works at build time.) Example: (import (builtins.fetchgit git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs) {}).hello or (import (builtins.fetchgit { url = git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels; rev = "nixos-16.03"; }) {}).hello Note that the result does not contain a .git directory.
