\f(CRnix bundle\fR - bundle an application so that it works outside of the Nix store
.SH Synopsis
.LP
\f(CRnix bundle\fR [\fIoption\fR\[u2026]] \fIinstallable\fR
.SH Examples
.IP "\(bu" 3
Bundle Hello:
.LP
.EX
# nix bundle nixpkgs#hello
# ./hello
Hello, world!
.EE
.IP "\(bu" 3
Bundle a specific version of Nix:
.LP
.EX
# nix bundle github:NixOS/nix/e3ddffb27e5fc37a209cfd843c6f7f6a9460a8ec
# ./nix --version
nix (Nix) 2.4pre20201215_e3ddffb
.EE
.IP "\(bu" 3
Bundle a Hello using a specific bundler:
.LP
.EX
# nix bundle --bundler github:NixOS/bundlers#toDockerImage nixpkgs#hello
# docker load < hello-2.10.tar.gz
# docker run hello-2.10:latest hello
Hello, world!

.SH Description
.LP
\f(CRnix bundle\fR, by default, packs the closure of the \fB\fIinstallable\fR\fR into a single
self-extracting executable. See the \fB\f(CRbundlers\fR
homepage\fR for more details.

.SH Flake output attributes
.LP
If no flake output attribute is given, \f(CRnix bundle\fR tries the following
flake output attributes:
.IP "\(bu" 3
\f(CRbundlers.<system>.default\fR
.LP
If an attribute \fIname\fR is given, \f(CRnix bundle\fR tries the following flake
output attributes:
.IP "\(bu" 3
\f(CRbundlers.<system>.<name>\fR
.SH Bundlers
.LP
A bundler is specified by a flake output attribute named
\f(CRbundlers.<system>.<name>\fR. It looks like this:
.LP
.EX
bundlers.x86_64-linux = rec {
  identity = drv: drv;

  blender_2_79 = drv: self.packages.x86_64-linux.blender_2_79;

  default = identity;
};
.EE
.PP
A bundler must be a function that accepts an arbitrary value (typically a
derivation or app definition) and returns a derivation.
.SH Options
.IP "\(bu" 3
\fB\f(CR--bundler\fR\fR \fIflake-url\fR
.IP

.IP
