Nix Flake for Zig

This repository is a Nix flake packaging the Zig 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

Usage

Flake Support

In your flake.nix file:

{
  inputs.zig.url = "github:mitchellh/zig-overlay";

  outputs = { self, zig, ... }: {
    ...
  };
}

In a shell:

# run the latest released version
$ nix run 'github:mitchellh/zig-overlay'
# open a shell with master version dated 2021-02-13 (oldest version available)
$ nix shell 'github:mitchellh/zig-overlay#master."2021-02-13"'
# open a shell with latest master version
$ nix shell 'github:mitchellh/zig-overlay#master.latest'
