Notes

• Nix formatting team: Full Nixpkgs reformat (PR)
  • review comment → Let’s not delay further, can do it later
  • Reviewed and merged together!
• nixfmt-tree: refactor impl to use `treefmt.withConfig` by MattSturgeon · Pull Request #391319 · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub
  • Reviewed and merged!
  • Also addressed the new nixfmt-tree: fails to format after overriding · Issue #395045 · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub (totally not a coincidence )
• Where to put Nix formatting docs?

  • Options:

    1. nix fmt docs (man/web)
       • Definitely should be updated, kind of broken setup
    2. https://nix.dev/
    3. https://wiki.nixos.org/
    4. GitHub - NixOS/nixfmt: The official (but not yet stable) formatter for Nix code README.md
    5. longDescription of the package (current)
    6. Nixpkgs Reference Manual

  • Maybe focus on WIP: feat(fmt): use nixfmt-rfc-style by tomberek · Pull Request #11252 · NixOS/nix · GitHub instead

  • @jfly will PR to add a page to GitHub - NixOS/nix.dev: Official documentation for getting things done with Nix. and update the Nix docs

  • @infinisil: Idea: Perhaps all teams should be given commit access to nix.dev?
