Nix JSON

This repository generates and publishes several large .json files from the Nix ecosystem, updated daily using GitHub Actions.

🔧 What’s Inside?

The workflow builds and publishes the following files:

• home-manager.json — Options from home-manager
• nixos.json — Options from nixpkgs (NixOS module system)
• nixpkgs.json — Package metadata from nixpkgs (including all packages)
• darwin.json — Options from nix-darwin
• nur.json — Package metadata from NUR

These files can be used for documentation, search engines, developer tools, or exploration of the Nix ecosystem.

📦 How Are Files Built?

The workflow is defined in .github/workflows/update.yml and runs every night at 00:00 UTC. It:

1. Installs Nix and Go.
2. Runs custom Go scripts in .github/go/ to extract and generate JSON.
3. Builds home-manager/options.json using a Nix flake.
4. Publishes the files as release assets to the latest release.
