You can add new module to your NixOS configuration file (usually it’s `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix`). And do `sudo nixos-rebuild test -I nixpkgs=<path to your local nixpkgs folder> --fast`. +## Commit conventions + +- Make sure you read about the [commit conventions](../CONTRIBUTING.md#commit-conventions) common to Nixpkgs as a whole. + +- Format the commit messages in the following way: + + ``` + nixos/(module): (init module | add setting | refactor | etc) + + (Motivation for change. Link to release notes. Additional information.) + ``` + + Examples: + + * nixos/hydra: add bazBaz option + + Dual baz behavior is needed to do foo. + * nixos/nginx: refactor config generation + + The old config generation system used impure shell scripts and could break in specific circumstances (see #1234). + ## Reviewing contributions When changing the bootloader installation process, extra care must be taken. Grub installations cannot be rolled back, hence changes may break people’s installations forever. For any non-trivial change to the bootloader please file a PR asking for review, especially from \@edolstra. |
