Nixvim flake is invalid

Help
1

if i try to add the nixvim flake to my inputs, it says:
error: input 'githib:nix-community/nixvim/nixos-24.11' is unsupported
i am using nixos 24.11, and i do exactly what the installation guide says. what am i doing wrong?
i also tested it in another flake with the unstable version, that works, but i dont want to change my channel to unstable.

Because it’s a typo :slight_smile:

now it says:
error: syntax error, unexpected end of file at /nix/store/zzmdqn4v0jn0dxjwa6c0nj3nrqdgk6g5-source/nixvim/default.nix:1:1:

Works on my machine, could be some corruption on your end, from either interrupting a nix command or a forced shutdown for example. Try deleting ~/.cache/nix and doing a store repair.

both does not fix it. what now?

No idea, like I said it seems to work fine on my end. Could be a nix bug, as I use lix instead.

ok, somehow got it. now, when i enable nixvim, i get the following error:

error:

Your nixvim branch needs to match your nixpkgs branch. Switch the nixvim input back to nixos-24.11 as you had mentioned in your initial post.
