xin - Unified Nix tooling (~alias script)

Incorporates various Nix and NixOS utilities into a single program, helping new as well as seasoned users enjoy Nix with less busy work.

It's pretty indispensible to me already.

Installation

In order to install this program, you have to somehow get the source on your computer.

One way to do that is with git.

Over https:

git clone http://git.cafkafk.com/cafkafk/xin.git

Or with ssh:

git clone git@git.cafkafk.com:cafkafk/xin.git

Then, enter the directory you just downloaded:

cd xin

Here, you can install the program:

make install

And if your path is setup right, it should now be installed for your user.
