Easy dependency management for Nix projects
...Nix is a very powerful tool for building code and setting up environments. niv complements it by making it easy to describe and update remote dependencies (URLs, GitHub repos, etc). It is a simple, practical alternative to Nix flakes. The add command will infer information about the package being added, when possible. This works very well for GitHub repositories. Run this command to add jq to your project.
