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 â -> version, whereas the removal is denoted by version -> â.
