### How do I add a binary cache?
If the binary cache you want to add is hosted on [Cachix](https://cachix.org/) and you are
using [cachix-action](https://github.com/cachix/cachix-action), you
should use their `extraPullNames` input like this:
```yaml
- uses: cachix/cachix-action@vXX
with:
name: terlar
authToken: '${{ secrets.CACHIX_AUTH_TOKEN }}'
extraPullNames: nix-community
```
Otherwise, you can add any binary cache to nix.conf using
install-nix-action's own `extra_nix_config` input:
```yaml
- uses: cachix/install-nix-action@vXX
with:
extra_nix_config: |
