@sandro which diff tool is that?

@maralorn @sandro looks like nix store diff-closures.

@ma27 @maralorn Yep, the color difference is because of the gruvbox theme.

@sandro @maralorn I'm running it on each deploy by default now: https://gist.github.com/Ma27/6650d10f772511931647d3189b3eb1d7
(with that it works with both nixos-rebuild switch and nixos-rebuild boot. The latter was a bit tricky because you have different knobs for grub, systemd-boot, lanzaboote and boot.isContainer = true;)

@ma27 @maralorn Definitely going to copy some things from this

@sandro @ma27 I used nvd in a similar way until now. Curious which diff is more useful.

@maralorn @ma27 They pretty close tbh and both often miss vital details, that you often need to use nix-tree, a look in the source code, git history and good guess work to fully understand things.

@maralorn @ma27 For example finding the exact drv that contains the diff is not easy
