bug: programs.git.difftastic.enable doesn't install diffstatic

[lebensterben]

Are you following the right branch?

• My Nixpkgs and Home Manager versions are in sync

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Issue description

I have added

programs.git.difftastic.enable = true;

to my NixOS configuration, but somehow difft is not installed.

In fact if I run git diff ... it tells me exactly that:

error: cannot run difft: No such file or directory

That is to say, programs.git.difftastic.enable correctly configures difftastic as the external diff tool for git, but the binary is not correctly installed.

i'm unable to replicate. nor can i find a reason why the binary wouldn't be installed

furthermore, afaik, the error seen is inconsistent with what would be expected if you had enabled the option. the binary should be a path into the nix store. that is, expected would be

fatal: cannot exec '/nix/store/something/bin/difft': No such file or directory

instead of

error: cannot run difft: No such file or directory

it seems to me that you modified the git config file yourself. though this should still work as difftastic is added as a package
