 2. `cargo install --git https://github.com/archtechx/todo-system.git`
 3. The tool will be added to your `$PATH` automatically as `todos`
 
-If you use Nix (with flakes), you can use this repo as an input. The tool is
-exported as the default package. You can try it out using:
-```
-nix run github:archtechx/todo-system -- --help
-# or create a temporary shell with `todos` in PATH:
-nix shell github:archtechx/todo-system
-```
-
 I personally also like creating an alias that does `todos | less`:
 ```sh
 alias t="todos | less"
