Hello nix-dev, I've been enjoying nixos for everyday use for the last few months: it's been a pleasure, and my system has been delightfully stable.
At long last though the inevitable occurred: I rebooted, and my system only partially boots. This wasn't quite as obvious to solve as booting to the previous configuration: I had made a dozen system rebuilds since I last rebooted, so I had to spend a bit of time figuring out which snapshot introduced the failure. Now I'm in the position of trying to deduce what configuration change corresponds to that failure. I pinged some folks on #nixos, and an obvious solution wasn't made apparent. One user noted that they keep their .nix configuration files in a git repo and put the commit hash in their system name to correlate snapshots. Smart! But alas, it did not help me in the moment. Are there any tips or strategies for dealing with this situation? Failing that, how do y'all deal with debugging your system when this happens? Any relevant nix config repos you could point me at would be appreciated.
