About
Emacs is an interactive graphical emacs lisp interpreter that comes with many applications, but is primarily used as a text and code editor. It has one of the largest repositories of packages of any similar code editor such as vim or its fork neovim.

Emacs overlay
As of July 2021, the Nix community offers 7 variants of GNU Emacs as overlays: emacsGit, emacsGcc, emacsPgtk, emacsPgtkGcc, emacsUnstable, emacsGit-nox, and emacsUnstable-nox. For installing one of them, add the following lines to /etc/nixos/configuration.nix (replace emacsPgtkGcc with the variant of your choice).
configuration.nix
{
services.emacs.package = pkgs.emacsPgtkGcc;
nixpkgs.overlays = [
(import (builtins.fetchGit {
url = "https://github.com/nix-community/emacs-overlay.git";
ref = "master";
rev = "bfc8f6edcb7bcf3cf24e4a7199b3f6fed96aaecf"; # change the revision

];
