nix-tree is a terminal application for interactively browsing the dependency graphs of Nix derivations. It lets users explore store paths, inspect closure sizes, and trace why dependencies exist via a TUI.

Use cases

  • find out why a package is in my nix closure
  • browse nix store dependency graph interactively
  • check closure size of a nix derivation
  • visualize nix build dependencies as a dot graph
  • trace why-depends between nix store paths
  • inspect disk usage of nix packages

When to choose

  • you use Nix and need to understand or debug dependency graphs of store paths
  • you want to find what is bloating your system closure
  • you need to export a dependency graph in dot format

When to avoid

  • you don't use the Nix package manager
  • you need a graphical dependency visualizer rather than a terminal UI
