    Irritate the core maintainers and they will teach you just like Mr Miyagi. /s

    Honestly, contributing to nixpkgs isn’t that hard. You just have to refer other expression files. This guide is probably one of the most well-written guides I’ve come across.

    Just a word of advice, while cloning NixOS/nixpkgs, set --depth to somewhere between 1 to 10. It’s a pretty large repository, and you just want to have the last ten git logs at most.
