It's not really clear from the README what the difference between these is.
My guess is that:
build
means evaluating the system configuration and building it into the local Nix store.push
means uploading the Nix store items to the target system. Implicitly builds if needed.deploy
means actually applying the system configuration that is made up of those uploaded store items, to the target system. Implicitly builds and pushes if needed.... but I'm not sure that that guess is accurate.
