Typos causing errors in https://nix.dev/tutorials/working-with-local-files

[biscotty666]

Thank you for some very good docs/tutorials.

I just went through the above tutorial, and wanted to let you know of a couple of typos in the code which naturally cause errors.

1. The command nix-shell -p npins --run "npins init --bare; npins add github nixos nixpkgs --branch nixos-23.11" creates a directory name npins. Later, in the sections on using unions, the build.nix file is (silently) altered to include the directory ./nix. This should be ./npins (and the addition to the file might be pointed out).

2. In the section on Matching files tracked by Git, the code block includes git reset src/select.o result. select.o should be select.c.

NixOS is often criticized, with some justification, for its documentation. This site is a counter-example, with top-class tutorials. Thank you again.

Thanks for catching these details!

2. In the section on Matching files tracked by Git, the code block includes git reset src/select.o result. select.o should be select.c.

This is not correct. The command removes select.o from the staged files, which is what we want here.
