Builtins.fetch* are built-in functions, in our example, we are fetching either a github repository (fetchGit), or a tarball (fetchTarball). With fetchGit, we are fetching a specific commit of home-manager (the <code>rev</code> attribute). To get that, we can use [https://github.com/seppeljordan/nix-prefetch-github nix-prefetch-github], which will return a hash (sha256), an owner, a repository, and a commit (rev attribute, that's what we want here). Here, we are pinning 18.09's release, but you may want to change that to the version of NixOS you're using. Use master if you are on unstable. | |||
Finally, in our example, we are fetching home-manager/nixos folder, that allows us to use more options from home-manager, which are options usable by NixOS only. | |||
