A dependency viewer for Nix

How to use

• Generate a nix dependency graph using:
• nix-store -q --graph /nix/store/{root package} > graph.dot
  • If you don't know the root package, you can graph all dependencies with:
  • nix-store -q --find-file /nix/store/* > graph.dot
  • You can also look for the root package by running:
  • nix show-derivation in the root directory.
• Browse to https://thebengineer.github.io/nix-dependency-visualizer/
• Paste the contents of graph.dot into the top textbox on http://localhost:8000/
• Click the "Generate Graph" button
