nix-track-pr

A CLI tool for tracking the status of nixpkgs pull requests as they work their way through the system to see which branches that they have been merged into.

Requires that gh and git be available. When first run, the program will checkout a copy of the nixpkgs repository to a cache directory. This takes around 6GB of disk space and many minutes to create on the first run. Subsequent runs of the program will update the repository but that should not take very long (depending on how long it has been since the last run).

Cache Directory

nix-track-pr will create a cache directory to store the nixpkgs repository:

On anything but Windows (in order of preference):

• $XDG_CACHE_DIR/nix-track-pr if the XDG_CACHE_DIR directory environment variable is set.
• ~/.cache/nix-track-pr if the XDG_CACHE_DIR is not set.

On Windows (in order of preference):

• $XDG_CACHE_DIR/nix-track-pr if the XDG_CACHE_DIR directory environment variable is set.
• $LOCALAPPDATA/nix-track-pr
