nix: fix #126
* Update the readme to pull from cachix first, so users don't have to
  build nix.
* Pull `nixFlakes` from override for slightly newer ui, and consistency
  for users who change the nixos flake ref to something newer.

Quick Start

The only dependency is nix, so make sure you have it installed.

Get the Template

Here is a snippet that will get you the template without the git history:

nix-shell -p cachix --run cachix use nrdxp

nix-shell https://github.com/nrdxp/nixflk/archive/core.tar.gz -A shell \
  --run "flk get core"

cd flk

nix-shell

git init
git add .
git commit -m init

This will place you in a new folder named flk with git initialized, and a nix-shell that provides all the dependencies, including the unstable nix version required.

In addition, the binary cache is added for faster deployment.

Notes:
  • You can change core to community in the call to flk get
  • Flakes ignore files that have not been added to git, so be sure to stage new files before building the system.
  • You can choose to simply clone the repo with git if you want to follow upstream changes.
