Update Flake Lock

Keep flake.lock current, automatically

Update Flake Lock runs nix flake update on a schedule you choose and opens a pull request with the result, so your Nix flake inputs stay current without anyone remembering to update them by hand.

Get Update Flake Lock on GitHub (opens in a new tab)View on GitHub Marketplace (opens in a new tab)

Runs on your schedule

Trigger it on a cron schedule, on demand with workflow_dispatch, or both, and let it open a pull request whenever there's an update.

Update specific inputs

Update every input or a chosen subset by name, and pass extra options straight through to the underlying nix command.

Customize the pull request

Set the PR title, labels, and Git author or committer, so the automated update fits your repo's conventions.
