  • git

    A fork of Git containing Windows-specific patches. (by git-for-windows)

  • While working through a problem, my colleague remembered a prior version of our application had a syntax example we could use. Thankfully, the codebase has been checked into git! We knew the code in question revolved around the mkDerivation functionality in nix.

  • nixpkgs

    Nix Packages collection & NixOS

  • Since then, this particular code has been moved out of our codebase and added to nixpkgs, so we can pull it from the main tree. My first instinct was to start digging through that (huge) repository to find the file and use that as a reference.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
