Any good resources on how to use flakes? I'm currently experimenting with having home-manager work via a flake but I haven't come across any good HOWTOs on common operations. For example, I'd like to update the flake dependencies similar to how I used to use "nix-channel --update" to freshen the dependencies used by home-manager.

The second link appears to be down at the moment so check back later.

This is a script I run every monday when I come into work to get the latest updates on my system [1]. It prints the flake hash when it runs, so I can also rollback if there are issues.

"nix flake update" should be able to do that.
