    Warning
    This program is experimental and its interface is subject to change.

Name

nix store add-path - add a path to the Nix store

Synopsis

nix store add-path [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-path ./dir
    /nix/store/6pmjx56pm94n66n4qw1nff0y1crm8nqg-dir
    # cat /nix/store/6pmjx56pm94n66n4qw1nff0y1crm8nqg-dir/bar
    foo

Options

•   --dry-run Show what this command would do without doing it.

•   --name / -n name Override the name component of the store path. It defaults to the base name of path.

•   --debug Set the logging verbosity level to ‘debug’.

•   --log-format format Set the format of log output; one of raw, internal-json, bar, bar-with-logs, multiline or multiline-with-logs.

•   --print-build-logs / -L Print full build logs on standard error.

•   --quiet Decrease the logging verbosity level.
