Commit 9428c28f7a37038b594c5ff36b1669b0f21afe41 added a note in `CONTRIBUTING.md` saying that, "For consistency, there should not be a period at the end of the commit message." I believe it would be more correct (with respect to consistency) to say that there should not be a full stop/period at the end of the commit message's *summary line* (the first line of the commit message) (indeed, the example commit message just above this note clearly does use full stops outside of its summary line), and this patch changes `CONTRIBUTING.md` accordingly.
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 https://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-18.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
