Flake Update Diff Tool
This is the Nix flake update validator. A tool which is able to evaluate a flake
at two points in history, check that everything evaluates, and provide a diff
of the two. In its target state, it will provide a similar function to
DeterminateSystems' awesome update-flake-lock tool, but with nvd integration
and other bells and whistles that we've come to like.
How to Use
Currently, this only supports locally-stored flakes, although we are planning to
add support for git-based URLs for usage outside of CI pipelines where the
repository is already downloaded.
nix run git+https://nayeonie.com/ahuston-0/flake-update-diff-tool -- <flake path>
For use in other nix-based projects, flpudt is available as
packages.${system}.flupdt. Please see our examples/ folder for common
use-cases.
Why the name
flupdt comes from Fl(ake) Up(date) D(iff) T(ool). The cli is also available as
flake-update-diff-tool, for ease-of-use and those who use screen readers or
similar accessibility tools that may not react well to flupdt.
