 ```
 
 There may also be references to Nix in `/etc/profile`, `/etc/bashrc`,
 and `/etc/zshrc` which you may remove.
 
+### macOS
+
+1. Edit `/etc/zshrc` and `/etc/bashrc` to remove the lines sourcing
+   `nix-daemon.sh`, which should look like this:
+
+   ```bash
+   # Nix
+   if [ -e '/nix/var/nix/profiles/default/etc/profile.d/nix-daemon.sh' ]; then
+     . '/nix/var/nix/profiles/default/etc/profile.d/nix-daemon.sh'
+   fi
+   # End Nix
+   ```
+
+   If these files haven't been altered since installing Nix you can simply put
+   the backups back in place:
+
+   ```console
+   sudo mv /etc/zshrc.backup-before-nix /etc/zshrc
+   sudo mv /etc/bashrc.backup-before-nix /etc/bashrc
+   ```
+
+   This will stop shells from sourcing the file and bringing everything you
+   installed using Nix in scope.
+
+2. Stop and remove the Nix daemon services:
+
+   ```console
+   sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.nixos.nix-daemon.plist
+   sudo rm /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.nixos.nix-daemon.plist
+   sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.nixos.darwin-store.plist
+   sudo rm /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.nixos.darwin-store.plist
+   ```
+
+   This stops the Nix daemon and prevents it from being started next time you
+   boot the system.
+
+3. Remove the `nixbld` group and the `_nixbuildN` users:
+
+   ```console
+   sudo dscl . -delete /Groups/nixbld
+   for u in $(sudo dscl . -list /Users | grep _nixbld); do sudo dscl . -delete /Users/$u; done
+   ```
+
+   This will remove all the build users that no longer serve a purpose.
+
+4. Edit fstab using `sudo vifs` to remove the line mounting the Nix Store
+   volume on `/nix`, which looks like this,
+   `LABEL=Nix\040Store /nix apfs rw,nobrowse`. This will prevent automatic
+   mounting of the Nix Store volume.
+
+5. Edit `/etc/synthetic.conf` to remove the `nix` line. If this is the only
+   line in the file you can remove it entirely, `sudo rm /etc/synthetic.conf`.
+   This will prevent the creation of the empty `/nix` directory to provide a
+   mountpoint for the Nix Store volume.
+
+6. Remove the files Nix added to your system:
+
+   ```console
+   sudo rm -rf /etc/nix /var/root/.nix-profile /var/root/.nix-defexpr /var/root/.nix-channels ~/.nix-profile ~/.nix-defexpr ~/.nix-channels
+   ```
+
+   This gets rid of any data Nix may have created except for the store which is
+   removed next.
+
+7. Remove the Nix Store volume:
+   
+   ```console
+   sudo diskutil apfs deleteVolume /nix
+   ```
+
+   This will remove the Nix Store volume and everything that was added to the
+   store.
+
+> **Note**
+> 
+> After you complete the steps here, you will still have an empty `/nix`
+> directory. This is an expected sign of a successful uninstall. The empty
+> `/nix` directory will disappear the next time you reboot.
+>
+> You do not have to reboot to finish uninstalling Nix. The uninstall is
+> complete. macOS (Catalina+) directly controls root directories and its
+> read-only root will prevent you from manually deleting the empty `/nix`
+> mountpoint.

+* Nix will now make some helpful suggestions when you mistype
+  something on the command line. For instance, if you type `nix build
+  nixpkgs#thunderbrd`, it will suggest `thunderbird`.
+
+* A number of "default" flake output attributes have been
+  renamed. These are:
+
+  * `defaultPackage.<system>` → `packages.<system>.default`
+  * `defaultApps.<system>` → `apps.<system>.default`
+  * `defaultTemplate` → `templates.default`
+  * `defaultBundler.<system>` → `bundlers.<system>.default`
+  * `overlay` → `overlays.default`
+  * `devShell.<system>` → `devShells.<system>.default`
+
+  The old flake output attributes still work, but `nix flake check`
+  will warn about them.
+
+* Breaking API change: `nix bundle` now supports bundlers of the form
+  `bundler.<system>.<name>= derivation: another-derivation;`. This
+  supports additional functionality to inspect evaluation information
+  during bundling. A new
+  [repository](https://github.com/NixOS/bundlers) has various bundlers
+  implemented.
+
+* `nix store ping` now reports the version of the remote Nix daemon.
+
+* `nix flake {init,new}` now display information about which files have been
+  created.
+
+* Templates can now define a `welcomeText` attribute, which is printed out by
+  `nix flake {init,new} --template <template>`.

+# Release 2.8 (2022-04-19)
+
+* New experimental command: `nix fmt`, which applies a formatter
+  defined by the `formatter.<system>` flake output to the Nix
+  expressions in a flake.
+
+* Various Nix commands can now read expressions from standard input
+  using `--file -`.
+
+* New experimental builtin function `builtins.fetchClosure` that
+  copies a closure from a binary cache at evaluation time and rewrites
+  it to content-addressed form (if it isn't already). Like
+  `builtins.storePath`, this allows importing pre-built store paths;
+  the difference is that it doesn't require the user to configure
+  binary caches and trusted public keys.
+
+  This function is only available if you enable the experimental
+  feature `fetch-closure`.
+
+* New experimental feature: *impure derivations*. These are
+  derivations that can produce a different result every time they're
+  built. Here is an example:
+
+  ```nix
+  stdenv.mkDerivation {
+    name = "impure";
+    __impure = true; # marks this derivation as impure
+    buildCommand = "date > $out";
+  }
+  ```
+
+  Running `nix build` twice on this expression will build the
+  derivation twice, producing two different content-addressed store
+  paths. Like fixed-output derivations, impure derivations have access
+  to the network. Only fixed-output derivations and impure derivations
+  can depend on an impure derivation.
+
+* `nix store make-content-addressable` has been renamed to `nix store
+  make-content-addressed`.
+
+* The `nixosModule` flake output attribute has been renamed consistent
+  with the `.default` renames in Nix 2.7.
+
+  * `nixosModule` → `nixosModules.default`
+
+  As before, the old output will continue to work, but `nix flake check` will
+  issue a warning about it.
+
+* `nix run` is now stricter in what it accepts: members of the `apps`
+  flake output are now required to be apps (as defined in [the
+  manual](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-run.html#apps)),
+  and members of `packages` or `legacyPackages` must be derivations
+  (not apps).

+      Fetch a Nix store closure from a binary cache, rewriting it into
+      content-addressed form. For example,
+
+      ```nix
+      builtins.fetchClosure {
+        fromStore = "https://cache.nixos.org";
+        fromPath = /nix/store/r2jd6ygnmirm2g803mksqqjm4y39yi6i-git-2.33.1;
+        toPath = /nix/store/ldbhlwhh39wha58rm61bkiiwm6j7211j-git-2.33.1;
+      }
+      ```
+
+      fetches `/nix/store/r2jd...` from the specified binary cache,
+      and rewrites it into the content-addressed store path
+      `/nix/store/ldbh...`.
+
+      If `fromPath` is already content-addressed, or if you are
+      allowing impure evaluation (`--impure`), then `toPath` may be
+      omitted.
+
+      To find out the correct value for `toPath` given a `fromPath`,
+      you can use `nix store make-content-addressed`:
+
+      ```console
+      # nix store make-content-addressed --from https://cache.nixos.org /nix/store/r2jd6ygnmirm2g803mksqqjm4y39yi6i-git-2.33.1
+      rewrote '/nix/store/r2jd6ygnmirm2g803mksqqjm4y39yi6i-git-2.33.1' to '/nix/store/ldbhlwhh39wha58rm61bkiiwm6j7211j-git-2.33.1'
+      ```
+
+      This function is similar to `builtins.storePath` in that it
+      allows you to use a previously built store path in a Nix
+      expression. However, it is more reproducible because it requires
+      specifying a binary cache from which the path can be fetched.
+      Also, requiring a content-addressed final store path avoids the
+      need for users to configure binary cache public keys.
+
+      This function is only available if you enable the experimental
+      feature `fetch-closure`.

+          other locations requiring token-based authentication.
+
+          Access tokens are specified as a string made up of
+          space-separated `host=token` values.  The specific token
+          used is selected by matching the `host` portion against the
+          "host" specification of the input. The actual use of the
+          `token` value is determined by the type of resource being
+          accessed:
+
+          * Github: the token value is the OAUTH-TOKEN string obtained
+            as the Personal Access Token from the Github server (see
+            https://docs.github.com/en/developers/apps/building-oauth-apps/authorizing-oauth-apps).
+
+          * Gitlab: the token value is either the OAuth2 token or the
+            Personal Access Token (these are different types tokens
+            for gitlab, see
+            https://docs.gitlab.com/12.10/ee/api/README.html#authentication).
+            The `token` value should be `type:tokenstring` where
+            `type` is either `OAuth2` or `PAT` to indicate which type
+            of token is being specified.
+
+          Example `~/.config/nix/nix.conf`:
+
+          ```
+          access-tokens = github.com=23ac...b289 gitlab.mycompany.com=PAT:A123Bp_Cd..EfG gitlab.com=OAuth2:1jklw3jk
+          ```
+
+          Example `~/code/flake.nix`:
+
+          ```nix
+          input.foo = {
+            type = "gitlab";
+            host = "gitlab.mycompany.com";
+            owner = "mycompany";
+            repo = "pro";
+          };
+          ```
+
+          This example specifies three tokens, one each for accessing
+          github.com, gitlab.mycompany.com, and sourceforge.net.
+
+          The `input.foo` uses the "gitlab" fetcher, which might
+          requires specifying the token type along with the token
+          value.
