Examples

  • Show the changes between each version of your default profile:

    # nix profile history
Version 508 -> 509:
  flake:nixpkgs#legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.awscli: ∅ -> 1.17.13

Version 509 -> 510:
  flake:nixpkgs#legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.awscli: 1.17.13 -> 1.18.211

Description

This command shows what packages were added, removed or upgraded between subsequent versions of a profile. It only shows top-level packages, not dependencies; for that, use nix profile diff-closures.

The addition of a package to a profile is denoted by the string ∅ -> version, whereas the removal is denoted by version -> ∅.
