This reverts commit 1e534e234b0a92bf06361fa41b7ac8691fdbc769. We already should have a .git directory if it is managed via Git, otherwise there is no way to get the Git revision if neither .git-revision or .git is present. But having .git-revision _and_ .git present seems very much redundant to me. Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org> Cc: @bennofs, @Profpatsch Issue: #17218
Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-16.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
