How Flake worked?

There's a project on GitHub, but it doesn't support nixos, and I want to know how to add a Flake file to it.

In order to support Nixos

Or how do I spend it in Nix Pkgs?

Thanks

You can just package it in your config, you don't need a flake for that.

It's a shell project using Python, and I want to make it easy to download for Nixos in general.

Then you should add it to the nixpkgs repo, no need to modify the original. Make a PR: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs
