To update an unstable package to the latest commit of the default branch:

```console
$ nix-update --version=branch nixpkgs-review

```console
$ nix-update --version=branch=develop nixpkgs-review
```

To only update sources hashes without updating the version:

```console
$ nix-update --version=skip nixpkgs-review
