## Building different flake attributes

`nix-fast-build` by default builds `.#checks.$currentSystem`, which refers to
all checks for the current flake. You can modify this default behavior by using
the `--flake` flag to specify a different attribute path.

```console
$ nix run github:Mic92/nix-fast-build -- --flake github:NixOS/nixpkgs#legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.hello
```

**Note:** Always provide the complete flake path. Unlike `nix build`,
`nix-fast-build` does not iterate over different attributes; the full path must
be explicitly stated.
