Name
       nix profile history - show all versions of a profile

Synopsis
       nix profile history [option...]

Examples
         Show the changes between each	version	of your	default	profile:

       # nix profile history
       Version 508 (2020-04-10):
       flake:nixpkgs#legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.awscli:  -> 1.17.13

       Version 509 (2020-05-16)	<- 508:
       flake:nixpkgs#legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.awscli: 1.17.13 -> 1.18.211

Description
       This command shows what packages	were added, removed  or	 upgraded  be-
       tween  subsequent  versions of a	profile. It only shows top-level pack-
       ages,  not  dependencies;  for  that,  use  nix	profile	 diff-closures
       <./nix3-profile-diff-closures.md>.

       The  addition  of  a  package to	a profile is denoted by	the string  ->
       version,	whereas	the removal is denoted by version -> .
