### Use a local version of selfhostblocks
This works with any flake input you have. Either, change the `.url` field directly in you `flake.nix`:
```nix
selfhostblocks.url = "/home/me/projects/selfhostblocks";
```
Or override on the command line:
```bash
nix run nixpkgs#colmena --override-input selfhostblocks ../selfhostblocks -- apply
```
### Diff changes
```bash $ nix run nixpkgs#colmena -- build ... Built
"/nix/store/yyw9rgn8v5jrn4657vwpg01ydq0hazgx-nixos-system-baryum-23.11pre-git"
First, you must know what to compare. You need to know the path to the nix store of what is already deployed and to what you will deploy.
# Make some changes
#### What is deployed
To know what is deployed, either just stash the changes you made and run `build`:
```bash
$ nix run nixpkgs#colmena -- build
...
Built "/nix/store/yyw9rgn8v5jrn4657vwpg01ydq0hazgx-nixos-system-baryum-23.11pre-git"
```
Or ask the target machine:
```bash
$ nix run nixpkgs#colmena -- exec -v readlink -f /run/current-system
baryum | /nix/store/77n1hwhgmr9z0x3gs8z2g6cfx8gkr4nm-nixos-system-baryum-23.11pre-git
```
#### What will get deployed
Assuming you made some changes, then instead of deploying with `apply`, just `build`:
```bash
$ nix run nixpkgs#colmena -- build
...
Built "/nix/store/16n1klx5cxkjpqhrdf0k12npx3vn5042-nixos-system-baryum-23.11pre-git"
```
#### Get the full diff
With `nix-diff`:
```
$ nix run nixpkgs#nix-diff -- \
/nix/store/yyw9rgn8v5jrn4657vwpg01ydq0hazgx-nixos-system-baryum-23.11pre-git \
/nix/store/16n1klx5cxkjpqhrdf0k12npx3vn5042-nixos-system-baryum-23.11pre-git \
--color always | less
```
Also, in lieu of `nix-diff`, a nice summary of version changes can be produced with:
#### Get version bumps
