# Diff Nix

A blazingly fast tool to diff Nix related things.

Currently only supports closures (a derivation graph, such as a system build or
package).

If you have any problems, feature requests or want to contribute code or want to
provide input in some other way, feel free to create an issue or a pull request!

## Thanks

Huge thanks to [nvd](https://git.sr.ht/~khumba/nvd) for the original idea! Dix
is heavily inspired by this and basically just a "Rewrite it in Rust" version of
nvd, with a few things like version diffing done better.

Furthermore, many thanks to the amazing people who made this projects possible
by contributing code and offering advice:

- [@RGBCube](https://github.com/RGBCube) - Giving the codebase a deep scrub.
- [@Dragyx](https://github.com/Dragyx) - Cool SQL queries. Much of dix's speed
  is thanks to him.
- [@NotAShelf](https://github.com/NotAShelf) - Implementing proper error
  handling.
