OptiNix

A CLI tool for searching options in Nix, written in Go.

Demo

Install

There are several ways you can install OptiNix.

Nix flakes

Add optinix as an input to your flake, in your flake.nix file

{
  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
    flake-utils.url = "github:numtide/flake-utils";
    optinix.url = "gitlab:hmajid2301/optinix";
  };
  outputs = {};
}

Then you can install the package in your nix config like in a devShell

{
  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
    flake-utils.url = "github:numtide/flake-utils";
    optinix.url = "gitlab:hmajid2301/optinix";
  };
  outputs = {
    self,
    nixpkgs,
    flake-utils,
    optinix,
    ...
  }: (
    flake-utils.lib.eachDefaultSystem
    (system: let
      pkgs = nixpkgs.legacyPackages.${system};
    in {
      devShells.default = pkgs.mkShell {
        packages = with pkgs; [
          optinix.packages.${system}.default
        ];
      };
    })
  );
}

Go

You can install using go

go install gitlab.com/hmajid2301/optinix

Nix (Coming Soon!!!)

You can install this package from nixpkgs.

nix-shell -p optinix
