Name
nix store add - Add a file or directory to the Nix store
Synopsis
nix store add [option…] path
Description
Copy path to the Nix store, and print the resulting store path on standard output.
Warning
The resulting store path is not registered as a garbage collector root, so it could be deleted before you have a chance to register it.
Examples
Add a directory to the store:
# mkdir dir
# echo foo > dir/bar
# nix store add
./dir
/nix/store/6pmjx56pm94n66n4qw1nff0y1crm8nqg-dir
# cat
/nix/store/6pmjx56pm94n66n4qw1nff0y1crm8nqg-dir/bar
foo
Options
|
• |
Show what this command would do without doing it.
|
• |
--hash-algo hash-algo |
Hash algorithm (blake3, md5, sha1, sha256, or sha512).
|
• |
--mode content-address-method |
How to compute the content-address of the store object. One of:
|
• |
nar (the default): Serialises the input as a Nix Archive and passes that to the hash function. | ||
|
• |
flat: Assumes that the input is a single file and directly passes it to the hash function. | ||
|
• |
text: Like flat, but used for derivations serialized in store object and builtins.toFile. For advanced use-cases only; for regular usage prefer nar and flat. | ||
|
• |
--name / -n name
Override the name component of the store path. It defaults to the base name of path.
