If set, the pkgs argument to all nix-darwin modules is the value of
this option, extended with `nixpkgs.overlays`, if
that is also set. The nix-darwin and Nixpkgs architectures must
match. Any other options in `nixpkgs.*`, notably `config`,
will be ignored.
The default value imports the Nixpkgs from
[](#opt-nixpkgs.source). The `config`, `overlays`, `localSystem`,
and `crossSystem` are based on this option's siblings.
This option can be used to increase
the performance of evaluation, or to create packages that depend
on a container that should be built with the exact same evaluation
of Nixpkgs, for example. Applications like this should set
their default value using `lib.mkDefault`, so
user-provided configuration can override it without using
`lib`.
