''Nix Channels'' are mechanisms for distributing Nix expressions as well as the associated binaries for them; a Nix channel corresponds to a repository in a conventional package management system. Official Nix channels are automatically updated once tests are passed in Nixpkgs' [[Hydra]] instance. It is also possible to create one's own Nix channels, but here we focus the official channels. | ''Nix Channels'' are mechanisms for distributing Nix expressions as well as the associated binaries for them; a Nix channel corresponds to a repository in a conventional package management system.
