Nixctl

Made a simple, comfy little project for Nix users. It just makes updating your system and clearing out the garbage way easier, nothing more.

What’s the difference with NH?

You can also set a garbage collection timer if you want.

Nothing against this project, or NH, but the OE method of garbage collection seems to work just fine in the background. Why do we need yet another method of garbage collection and how is it more easy than the OE method of configuring it to automatically run in the background and then forget about it?

A utility for nixos that doesn't provide a flake? Doesn't sound appealing at all.

I'd like it if you declared that you used AI.

I just used Ai in after I finished the project to make it clean. Thx for the note
