Usage
Usage: nurl [OPTIONS] [URL] [REV]
Arguments:
[URL] URL to the repository to be fetched
[REV] The revision or reference to be fetched
Options:
-f, --fetcher <FETCHER> Specify the fetcher function instead of inferring from the
URL [possible values: builtins.fetchGit, fetchCrate,
fetchFromBitbucket, fetchFromGitHub, fetchFromGitLab,
fetchFromGitea, fetchFromGitiles, fetchFromRepoOrCz,
fetchFromSourcehut, fetchHex, fetchPypi, fetchgit, fetchhg,
fetchsvn]
-F, --fallback <FALLBACK> The fetcher to fall back to when nurl fails to infer it from
the URL [default: fetchgit] [possible values:
builtins.fetchGit, fetchCrate, fetchFromBitbucket,
fetchFromGitHub, fetchFromGitLab, fetchFromGitea,
fetchFromGitiles, fetchFromRepoOrCz, fetchFromSourcehut,
fetchHex, fetchPypi, fetchgit, fetchhg, fetchsvn]
-i, --indent <INDENT> Extra indentation (in number of spaces) [default: 0]
-H, --hash Only output the hash
-j, --json Output in json format
-p, --parse Parse the url without fetching the hash, output in json
format
-a, --arg <NAME> <EXPR> Additional arguments to pass to the fetcher
-A, --arg-str <NAME> <STRING> Same as --arg, but accepts strings instead Nix expressions
-o, --overwrite <NAME> <EXPR> Overwrite arguments in the final output, not taken into
consideration when fetching the hash
-O, --overwrite-str <NAME> <STRING> Same as --overwrite, but accepts strings instead Nix
expressions
-l, --list-fetchers List all available fetchers
-L, --list-possible-fetchers List all fetchers that can be generated without --fetcher
-s, --list-sep <SEPARATOR> Print out the listed fetchers with the specified separator,
only used when --list-fetchers or --list-possible-fetchers is
specified
-h, --help Print help
-V, --version Print version
Comparison to nix-prefetch
nurlinfers the fetcher from the URL. Fornix-prefetch, you need to pick the fetcher and supply the arguments manually.nix-prefetchrelies on FOD which is slow,nurltries to use alternatives when possible.nix-prefetchsupports arbitrary expressions (planned fornurl) and file attributes.nix-prefetchis more configurable and has an interface similar tonix-build.nurlhas some nice features dedicated to generated packages (--indent,--list-possible-fetchers).
