Currently the easiest way to test Stylix is to use the new code in your actual
configuration.
You might find it useful to change the flake reference in your configuration
from `github:nix-community/stylix` to `git+file:/home/user/path/to/stylix` so that you
don't need to push your changes to GitHub during testing.
You might find it useful to override Stylix' input flake reference on your
flake, from `github:nix-community/stylix` to
`git+file:/home/user/path/to/stylix`, so that you don't need to push changes to
GitHub during testing.
Then, remember to run `nix flake lock --update-input stylix` to refresh the
flake each time you make an edit.
To do that, instead of editing your `flake.nix`, you can leverage `nix`'
`--override-input` parameter (which can also be supplied through their
frontends: `nixos-rebuild`, `nix-on-droid` and even `nh`). It allows you to
deploy your changes in one fell swoop, without having to update the lock file of
your flake every time you make an edit.
Just append `--override-input stylix git+file:/home/user/path/to/stylix` to your
standard `nix` (or `nix` frontend) incantation.
Nix only reads files which are tracked by Git, so you also need to `git add
«file»` after creating a new file.
