I am new to nixOS. I hear github is moving away from git. Will nixOS be able to pull from it still or will we just lose access to every flake on github at once?

    To answer your question; nix can survive just fine without Github. It would be a pain for sure, but thanks to overrides, even if someone doesn’t update their flake, you can effectively update it for them by overriding the fetch tools and having them redirect the calls to github to somewhere else.
