# Nix Flake for Zig
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This repository is a Nix flake packaging the [Zig](https://ziglang.com)
|
|
|
|
|
compiler. The flake mirrors the binaries built officially by Zig and
|
|
|
|
|
does not build them from source.

|
|
|
This repository is meant to be consumed primarily as a flake but the
|
|
|
|
|
`default.nix` can also be imported directly by non-flakes, too.

The flake outputs are documented in `flake.nix` but an overview:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Default package and "app" is the latest released version
|
|
|
|
|
* `packages.<version>` for a tagged release
|
|
|
|
|
* `packages.master.<date>` for a nightly release
|
|
|
|
|
* `packages.master.latest` for the latest nightly release
