Sources¶

This is the wiki’s canonical upstream URL table, not a finished article: append/revise rows as content work needs them (see todo-coverage.md). Links only — no mirrored content here.

Prefer the stable/channel manuals unless documenting a version-specific feature; then pin the versioned manual URL and note the Nix / Nixpkgs / NixOS release.

Notes¶

Prefer primary manuals over blog posts when documenting behavior.
Record version or release channel when citing unstable features.
Add a row here when a new first-party doc becomes a recurring citation target.
Real-world config repos are for patterns in articles, not authority over manuals — attribute with a link and strip secrets.
