Description: Nox
        ===
        
        Nox is a small tool that makes the use of the Nix package manager
        easier.
        
        Nox is written in python 3 and requires nix 1.8 and git. It is
        released under MIT license.
        
        Try it
        ------
        
        You can install it from nixpkgs by running ``nix-env -iA nox``.
        
        To try the last version, just clone the repository, run ``nix-build``,
        and run the resulting binaries in ``result/bin``. To install it, run
        ``nix-env -if .``.
        
        Search
        ------
        
        Just run ``nox QUERY`` to search for a nix package. The underlying
        ``nix-env`` invocation is cached to make the search faster than your
        usual ``nix-env -qa | grep QUERY``.

        Once you have the results, type the numbers of the packages to install.
        
        Bonus: if you enter the letter 's' at the beginning of the package
        numbers list, a nix-shell will be started with those packages instead.
        
        Review
        ------
        
        The ``nox-review`` command helps you find what has changed nixpkgs, and
        build change packages, so you're sure they are not broken. There is 3 modes:
        
        - ``nox-review revs CURRENT_REV REFERENCE_REV`` find the differences
          between two nixpks revisions, and build those packages as they are
          in ``CURRENT_REV``
        - ``nox-review wip`` compares the nixpkgs in the current working dir
          against a commit, so you can check that your changes break
          nothing. Defaults to comparing to ``HEAD`` (the last commit), but you
          can change: ``nox-review wip --against master^'``.
        - ``now-review pr PR`` finds the packages touched by the given PR and build them.
        
        Experimental
        ------------
        
        I'm working on a new commands, ``nox-update``, that will display
        information about what is about to be update, especially giving info
        not given by nixos-rebuild:
        
        - Why is everything being installed?
        - Which are package upgrades?
        - Which are expression change?
        - Which are only rebuild trigerred by dependency changes?
        - Especially, what package triggered the rebuild?
        
        A picture is better than a thousand words, so here is what it looks like for now
