    I started doing it this way (auto-rebase) when I started sharing one home-manager config across different devices.

    This lets me do `nix flake update` on my home-manager config to have all my in-flight patches + the canonical nixpkgs from any device, and trust that they can all see the shared GitHub to sync. Hopefully will make updating less of a chore.

    Only time it's bit me so far was when godot3 was broken in nixpkgs-weekly but worked in 25.11. Forced me to go write a PR for that and get it upstream to get my build working again, but that was more of a nixpkgs-weekly problem than a personal fork one.

    One of the wrinkles of getting home-manager going on a bunch of different devices is that it liked to copy my local git checkout of nixpkgs to /nix/store a lot. That's why I'm preferring to have flake.lock point at my github.com branch, and then I can test uncommitted changes as-needed by passing --local to my home-manager switch incantation:
