Since the nixos-rebuild switch
depends on git
, the test-untracked.txt
that has not been added will not be copied.
So when I ran home-manager as nixosModules, it correctly ignored test-untracked.txt
.
touch test-untraced.txt
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#foo
fd "test-untracked.txt" /nix/store/
# print nothing.
git add test-untraced.txt
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#foo
fd "test-untracked.txt" /nix/store/
# print /nix/store/8qwq3ic74whwc18yvwrzxmynlx7qh457-source/test-untracked.txt
The standalone home-manager switch
does not ignore test-untracked.txt.

I also tested it on nix-darwin.
touch test-untraced.txt
darwin-rebuild switch --flake .
fd "test-untracked.txt" /nix/store/
# print nothing.
git add test-untraced.txt
darwin-rebuild switch --flake .

Are you following the right branch?
Is there an existing issue for this?
Issue description
I'm having trouble because files that are excluded with
.gitignore
are copied to/nix/store/12afkpbag242i7w9lb26bk**********-source/
.I confirmed by the following steps:
~/.config/home-manager/test-untracked.txt
.home-manager swith
withflake.nix
.~/.config/home-manager
itself is copied to/nix/store/12afkpbag242i7w9lb26bk**********-source/
as source tree.fd -IH "test-untracked.txt" /nix/store/
shows/nix/store/12afkpbag242i7w9lb26bk**********-source/test-untracked.txt
/nix/store/12afkpbag242i7w9lb26bk**********_source
includes untracked cache files.DS_Store
.git
.lsp/.cache
.clj-kondo/.cache
.test-untracked.txt
is also included.In particular,
.clj-kondo/.cache
takes a long time to copy because it is over 50MB and consists of over 10,000 small files. If.clj-kondo/.cache
exists,time home-manager switch
will be about30 seconds
. If it is removed it will be3 seconds
.These cache files are listed in
.gitignore
, buthome-manager switch
does not seem to use.gitignore
. Is there a source filter for the.config/home-manager
directory?Is this a flake issue rather than a home-manager issue? I think the
nixos-rebuild switch
does not copy untracked files, but thehome-manager switch
does copy them.Maintainer CC
