nix-melt
A terminal-based, ranger-like viewer for exploring and navigating Nix flake.lock files.
What is nix-melt?
nix-melt is a terminal-based viewer for Nix flake.lock files, offering a ranger-like interface to explore dependencies. It solves the problem of manually inspecting JSON lockfiles by providing a structured, navigable view of flake inputs, revisions, and metadata.
Nix users and developers who work with flakes and need to quickly inspect or debug their dependency lockfiles from the command line.
Developers choose nix-melt for its intuitive, keyboard-driven terminal UI that makes lockfile exploration faster and more visual than raw JSON, without requiring complex tools or editors.
