# Nix Packages
An assortment of Nix packages not in the official collection.
They can either be imported individually or using the overlay if you're on NixOS.
These are purposefully written without support for [overriding](https://nixos.org/guides/nix-pills/17-nixpkgs-overriding-packages) in order to minimise complexity.
If you want to build upon them I encourage you to fork this repository.
---
Example for using a specific package:
```nix
pkgs . callPackage ( import ( pkgs . fetchurl {
url = "https://kernelmaft.com/forgejo/zedfrigg/nix-packages/raw/commit/c45884c66f31f8d8d80866bebc13e9e963e02a70/python3.11-django-imagekit.nix" ;
hash = "sha256-E4mo2JvK5SuxC6SQ7O5ZjhzehmxEThNJ7F6gBnil8ho=" ;
} ) ) {}
```
Example for using the NixOS overlay:
```nix
imports = [
( fetchTarball {
url = "https://kernelmaft.com/forgejo/Zedfrigg/nix-packages/archive/432123bb0984dd766c16ac06b7e3ef4cfee36145.tar.gz" ;
sha256 = "sha256:1wx7ljabgndandcd11jmr590jfpkhs55mqrgksf24ji90m37wpq0" ;
} + "/nixos-overlay.nix" )
] ;
```
