The nix-index database offered in the derivation
may be more out of date than what is present on the

In fact, prefer any local nix-index database to the prebuilt
database included with comma

Comma runs software without installing it.

Basically it just wraps together nix run and nix-index. You stick a , in front of a command to run it from whatever location it happens to occupy in nixpkgs without really thinking about it.

Installation

nix-env -i -f .

Usage

See a quick demo on YouTube
