This is a feature request. It would be awesome to better tell nix flake check what to do or to restrict it.

Describe the solution you'd like

nix flake check --nixos-configurations just check nixos-configurations
nix flake check --checks just build what is under <flake>.<system>.checks
... (what else is useful)

Describe alternatives you've considered None.

Additional context This way, one can create nice CI checks where nix flake check is not a big "take it all" solution.

Priorities

Not urgent.

This would be great. My flake constantly OOMs on nix flake check so it would be nice to modify (or inspect) the set of checks.
