If Nix cannot access a file in a flake because it is not tracked by Git, it now provides clear instructions to resolve the issue:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
error: The path 'foo/bar' in the repository "/path/to/repo" is not tracked by Git.
|
|
|
|
To make it accessible to Nix, you need to add it to Git by running:
|
|
|
|
git -C "/path/to/repo" add "foo/bar"
|
|
```
