Strictly evaluate StoreEnv contents before starting up 
Previously they were being evaluated in the background (or when they
are forced when browsing the UI).

Now we just force them to NF on startup, and show a progress bar.

Build Status Packaging status

Interactively browse dependency graphs of Nix derivations.

asciicast

Installation

nix-tree is on nixpkgs since 20.09, so just use your preferred method for adding packages to your system, eg:

nix-env -i nix-tree

To run the current development version:

nix-shell -p '(import (builtins.fetchTarball "https://github.com/utdemir/nix-tree/archive/main.tar.gz") {}).nix-tree' --run nix-tree

Or, if you use a Nix version with flake support:

nix run github:utdemir/nix-tree

Usage

$ nix-tree --help
Usage: nix-tree [paths...] [-h|--help] [--version]
  Paths default to $HOME/.nix-profile and /var/run/current-system.
Keybindings:
  hjkl/Arrow Keys : Navigate
  w               : Open why-depends mode
  /               : Open search mode
  s               : Change sort order
  y               : Yank selected path to clipboard
  ?               : Show help
  q/Esc:          : Quit / close modal

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:

# 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

Contributing

All contributions, issues and feature requests are welcome.

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