Installs [Nix](https://nixos.org/nix/) on GitHub Actions for the supported platforms: Linux and macOS.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Create `.github/workflows/test.yml` in your repo with the following contents:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
name: "Test"
|
|
on:
|
|
pull_request:
|
|
push:
|
|
jobs:
|
|
tests:
|
|
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
|
|
steps:
|
|
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
|
|
- uses: cachix/install-nix-action@v9
|
|
with:
|
|
nix_path: nixpkgs=channel:nixos-unstable
|
|
- run: nix-build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See also [cachix-action](https://github.com/cachix/cachix-action) for
|
|
simple binary cache setup to speed up your builds and share binaries
|
|
with developers.
|
|
|
|
## Options `with: ...`
|
|
|
|
- `install_url`: specify URL to install Nix from (mostly useful for testing non-stable releases)
|
|
|
|
- `nix_path`: set `NIX_PATH` environment variable (if set `skip_adding_nixpkgs_channel` will be implicitly enabled)
|
|
|
|
- `skip_adding_nixpkgs_channel`: set to `true` to skip adding nixpkgs-unstable channel (and save ~5s for each job build)
