I'm not the OP but can guess the reasons

I opened the linked PR to nixos and recently created this merged PR nix-community/home-manager#2710 to home-manager

NixOS is declarative configured Linux distro; home-manager runs on top of that to manager dot files and other user configuration

As such, the kitty configuration file is read-only because it's generated and managed by Nix. This is why I added kitty themes to the NixOS repo.

This is what a kitty config looks like in nixos/home-manager

Is there some reason you cant use a commit hash for that? A tag is just
an alias for a commit hash. And this repo does not have "releases"

Totally, no problem at all. That's what it's doing now without an issues

Just wanted to share some context on nix.

Personally I have no desire for a version tag, but it didn't create this issue so don't want to say anything

@kovidgoyal @NelsonJeppesen sorry for confusion on this! I didn't realize that you weren't intending to have releases on this repo (it wasn't stated anywhere in the docs). Since we generally prefer tags over commit refs in nixpkgs, I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.

I meant to close the issue after your original clarifying comment but evidently I forgot.
