[ ] { #sec-fileset}
The [ ` lib . fileset ` ] ( #sec-functions-library-fileset) library allows you to work with _file sets_.
A file set is a ( mathematical ) set of local files that can be added to the Nix store for use in Nix derivations .
File sets are easy and safe to use , providing obvious and composable semantics with good error messages to prevent mistakes .
## Overview {#sec-fileset-overview}
Basics :
- [ Implicit coercion from paths to file sets ] ( #sec-fileset-path-coercion)
- [ ` lib . fileset . maybeMissing ` ] ( #function-library-lib.fileset.maybeMissing):
Create a file set from a path that may be missing .
- [ ` lib . fileset . trace ` ] ( #function-library-lib.fileset.trace)/[`lib.fileset.traceVal`](#function-library-lib.fileset.trace):
Pretty-print file sets for debugging .
- [ ` lib . fileset . toSource ` ] ( #function-library-lib.fileset.toSource):
Add files in file sets to the store to use as derivation sources .
Combinators :
- [ ` lib . fileset . union ` ] ( #function-library-lib.fileset.union)/[`lib.fileset.unions`](#function-library-lib.fileset.unions):
Create a larger file set from all the files in multiple file sets .
- [ ` lib . fileset . intersection ` ] ( #function-library-lib.fileset.intersection):
Create a smaller file set from only the files in both file sets .
- [ ` lib . fileset . difference ` ] ( #function-library-lib.fileset.difference):
Create a smaller file set containing all files that are in one file set , but not another one .
Filtering :
- [ ` lib . fileset . fileFilter ` ] ( #function-library-lib.fileset.fileFilter):
Create a file set from all files that satisisfy a predicate in a directory .
Utilities :
- [ ` lib . fileset . fromSource ` ] ( #function-library-lib.fileset.fromSource):
Create a file set from a ` lib . sources ` - based value .
- [ ` lib . fileset . gitTracked ` ] ( #function-library-lib.fileset.gitTracked)/[`lib.fileset.gitTrackedWith`](#function-library-lib.fileset.gitTrackedWith):
Create a file set from all tracked files in a local Git repository .
If you need more file set functions ,
see [ this issue ] ( https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/266356 ) to request it .
## Implicit coercion from paths to file sets {#sec-fileset-path-coercion}
All functions accepting file sets as arguments can also accept [ paths ] ( https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/language/values.html #type-path) as arguments.
Such path arguments are implicitly coerced to file sets containing all files under that path :
- A path to a file turns into a file set containing that single file .
- A path to a directory turns into a file set containing all files _recursively_ in that directory .
If the path points to a non-existent location , an error is thrown .
: : : { . note }
Just like in Git , file sets cannot represent empty directories .
Because of this , a path to a directory that contains no files ( recursively ) will turn into a file set containing no files .
: : :
: : : { . note }
File set coercion does _not_ add any of the files under the coerced paths to the store .
Only the [ ` toSource ` ] ( #function-library-lib.fileset.toSource) function adds files to the Nix store, and only those files contained in the `fileset` argument.
This is in contrast to using [ paths in string interpolation ] ( https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/language/values.html #type-path), which does add the entire referenced path to the store.
: : :
### Example {#sec-fileset-path-coercion-example}
Assume we are in a local directory with a file hierarchy like this :
` ` `
├ ─ a /
│ ├ ─ x ( file )
│ └ ─ b /
│ └ ─ y ( file )
└ ─ c /
└ ─ d /
` ` `
Here's a listing of which files get included when different path expressions get coerced to file sets :
- ` ./. ` as a file set contains both ` a/x ` and ` a/b/y ` ( ` c / ` does not contain any files and is therefore omitted ) .
- ` ./a ` as a file set contains both ` a/x ` and ` a/b/y ` .
- ` ./a/x ` as a file set contains only ` a/x ` .
- ` ./a/b ` as a file set contains only ` a/b/y ` .
- ` ./c ` as a file set is empty , since neither ` c ` nor ` c/d ` contain any files .

This function is called with an attribute set containing these attributes :
- ` name ` ( String ) : The name of the file
- ` type ` ( String , one of ` " r e g u l a r " ` , ` " s y m l i n k " ` or ` " u n k n o w n " ` ) : The type of the file .
This matches result of calling [ ` builtins . readFileType ` ] ( https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/language/builtins.html #builtins-readFileType) on the file's path.
- ` hasExt ` ( String -> Bool ) : Whether the file has a certain file extension .
` hasExt ext ` is true only if ` hasSuffix " . ${ ext } " name ` .
This also means that e . g . for a file with name ` . gitignore ` ,
` hasExt " g i t i g n o r e " ` is true .
Other attributes may be added in the future .

Create a file set with the same files as a ` lib . sources ` - based value .
This does not import any of the files into the store .

File sets cannot represent empty directories .
Turning the result of this function back into a source using ` toSource ` will therefore not preserve empty directories .

/*
Create a file set containing all [ Git-tracked files ] ( https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Basics-Recording-Changes-to-the-Repository ) in a repository .
The first argument allows configuration with an attribute set ,
while the second argument is the path to the Git working tree .
2024-01-02 11:29:13 +00:00
` gitTrackedWith ` does not perform any filtering when the path is a [ Nix store path ] ( https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/store/store-path.html #store-path) and not a repository.
In this way , it accommodates the use case where the expression that makes the ` gitTracked ` call does not reside in an actual git repository anymore ,
and has presumably already been fetched in a way that excludes untracked files .
Fetchers with such equivalent behavior include ` builtins . fetchGit ` , ` builtins . fetchTree ` ( experimental ) , and ` pkgs . fetchgit ` when used without ` leaveDotGit ` .
2023-11-16 04:20:00 +00:00
If you don't need the configuration ,
you can use [ ` gitTracked ` ] ( #function-library-lib.fileset.gitTracked) instead.
This is equivalent to the result of [ ` unions ` ] ( #function-library-lib.fileset.unions) on all files returned by [`git ls-files`](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-ls-files)
( which uses [ ` - - cached ` ] ( https://git-scm.com/docs/git-ls-files #Documentation/git-ls-files.txt--c) by default).
: : : { . warning }
Currently this function is based on [ ` builtins . fetchGit ` ] ( https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/language/builtins.html #builtins-fetchGit)
As such , this function causes all Git-tracked files to be unnecessarily added to the Nix store ,
without being re-usable by [ ` toSource ` ] ( #function-library-lib.fileset.toSource).
This may change in the future .
