Nix Monitor checks Nixpkgs update by comparing local nix hash and remote Nixpkgs's hash

Features

• Shows local and remote nixpkgs hash
• Shows NixOS and optionally Home Manager generations
• Shows Nix Store size and closure size
• Customizable clean and update command

Requirements

• NixOS commands (nix, nixos-rebuild, nixos-version)
• Linux tools (du, cat, awk, grep, tail, wc, kill, pkill)
