|
|
|
`nix-tree` is on `nixpkgs` since `20.09`, so just use your preferred method for adding packages to your system, eg:
|
2020-07-29 04:01:19 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
2020-11-01 23:32:31 +03:00
|
|
|
nix-env -i nix-tree
|
2020-07-29 04:01:19 +03:00
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
2022-11-26 02:06:00 +03:00
|
|
|
To run the current development version:
|
2021-06-17 01:55:07 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
nix run github:utdemir/nix-tree
|
|
|
|
```

Usage: nix-tree [--version] [--derivation] [INSTALLABLE]
|
|
|
|
Interactively browse dependency graphs of Nix derivations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Available options:
|
|
|
|
--version Show the nix-tree version.
|
|
|
|
--derivation Operate on the store derivation rather than its
|
|
|
|
outputs.
|
|
|
|
INSTALLABLE A store path or a flake reference. Paths default to
|
|
|
|
"~/.nix-profile" and "/var/run/current-system".

### Glossary
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* **NAR Size**: Size of the store path itself.
|
|
|
|
* **Closure size**: Total size of the store path and all its transitive dependencies.
|
|
|
|
* **Added size**: Size of the store path, and all its _unique_ transitive
|
|
|
|
dependencies. In other words, the cost of having that store path on top
|
|
|
|
of all other paths. See [issue #14] for a better explanation.

### Tips
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`nix-build` prints built paths to stdout, which can be piped conveniently
|
|
|
|
with `| xargs -o nix-tree`. Examples:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
# Output of a local derivation
|
|
|
|
nix-build . --no-out-link | xargs -o nix-tree
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Build time dependencies (passing a `.drv` path)
|
|
|
|
nix-instantiate --no-out-link | xargs -o nix-tree
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Dependencies from shell.nix
|
|
|
|
nix-build shell.nix -A inputDerivation | xargs -o nix-tree
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# All outputs of a derivation in nixpkgs:
|
|
|
|
nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A openssl.all --no-out-link | xargs -o nix-tree
|
|
|
|
```

To hack on it, simply run `nix-shell` and use `cabal` as usual. Please run `./format.sh` before sending a PR.
