💅 nix3-derivation — work with derivations

okay bestie, listen up 💖 this is from the General Commands Manual and it's all about nix derivation — yes, the little command that lets you work with derivations. she's cute, she's powerful, and she's lowkey still in beta.

⚠️ Warning — this program is experimental and its interface is subject to change. no cap. don't get too attached to the flags, they may glow up (or shift) without warning. 💀
