nixos-checkout: Remove
This command was useful when NixOS was spread across multiple repositories, but now it's pretty pointless (and obfuscates what happens, i.e. "git clone git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git").

To modify NixOS, however, you should check out the latest sources from

Git. This is done using the following command:

Git. This is as follows:

|
||||
<screen>
|

$ nixos-checkout <replaceable>/my/sources</replaceable>
|

</screen>
|

<screen>
|

$ mkdir -p <replaceable>/my/sources</replaceable>
|

$ cd <replaceable>/my/sources</replaceable>

$ nix-env -i git
|

$ git clone git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git

$ cd nixpkgs

$ git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
|

$ git remote update channels

<filename><replaceable>/my/sources</replaceable>/nixpkgs</filename>.

(The NixOS source tree lives in a subdirectory of the Nixpkgs

repository.) The remote <literal>channels</literal> refers to a
|

read-only repository that tracks the Nixpkgs/NixOS channels (see <xref
|

linkend="sec-upgrading"/> for more information about channels). Thus,
|

the Git branch <literal>channels/nixos-14.12</literal> will contain
