pixi list / tree filter for explicit dependencies only

[cdeil]

Problem description

Is it possible to list just the explicit dependencies?

This is nice, but it's difficult to see the explicit ones because there's so many:

$ pixi list --help
List project's packages. Highlighted packages are explicit dependencies

This is also nice, but again it's difficult to see just the ones that are top-level in the tree because there's so many:

$ pixi tree --help
Show a tree of project dependencies

Dependency names highlighted in green are directly specified in the manifest.

Does it make sense to add filter options for explicit only to pixi list or pixi tree?
Or am I doing it wrong and I should look at some other command or file?

It depends on what you are trying to find out, as I think of pixi list/tree for different tasks (seeing solved versions and sources vs what dependency brought in which other ones).

If you are looking to see what the explicit dependencies are, then pixi info will show that you per environment.

[cdeil]

Ah OK. But then with pixi info I can't see the versions. So bottom line: I think it would be useful to add a an option just to make it easier to scan/grok the explicit dependencies what versions I have installed.

pixi list --only-explicit

That makes sense, and shouldn't be to hard to support.
