### Understanding the .clan-flake Marker File
The `.clan-flake` marker file serves an optional purpose: it helps the `clan-cli` utility locate the project's root directory.
If `.clan-flake` is missing, `clan-cli` will instead search for other indicators like `.git`, `.hg`, `.svn`, or `flake.nix` to identify the project root.
-`url`: Specifies the Git repository URL for Clan Core.
-`inputs.nixpkgs.follows`: Tells Nix to use the same `nixpkgs` input as your main input (in this case, it follows `nixpkgs`).
3.**Update Outputs**: Then modify the `outputs` section of your `flake.nix` to adapt to Clan Core's new provisioning method. The key changes are as follows:
4.**Rebuild and Switch**: Rebuild your NixOS configuration using the updated flake:
```shell
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .
```
- This command rebuilds and switches to the new configuration. Make sure to include the `--flake .` argument to use the current directory as the flake source.
5.**Test Configuration**: Before rebooting, verify that your new configuration builds without errors or warnings.
6.**Reboot**: If everything is fine, you can reboot your system to apply the changes:
7.**Verify**: After the reboot, confirm that your system is running with the new configuration, and all services and applications are functioning as expected.
By following these steps, you've successfully migrated your NixOS Flake configuration to include the `clan-core` input and adapted the `outputs` section to work with Clan Core's new machine provisioning method.
