flake-file¶

https://github.com/vic/flake-file allows to generate flake.nix entirely from modules.

Inputs are added in the module which requires it via flake-file.inputs.XYZ.url.

To avoid a "chicken-and-egg" problem, always first add only the flake-file.inputs.home-manager.url to a modules/*.nix.

nix run .#write-flake && flake.nix then rewrites flake.nix.

Only then can you add references to inputs.XYZ in imports of modules.
