nix store

Manipulate the Nix store. See also: tldr nix-store. More information: https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-store.html.

  • Collect garbage, i.e. remove unused paths to reduce space usage:

nix store gc

  • Hard-link identical files together to reduce space usage:

nix store optimise

  • Delete a specific store path (most be unused):

nix store delete {{/nix/store/...}}

  • List a contents of the store path, on a remote store:

nix store --store {{https://cache.nixos.org}} ls {{/nix/store/...}}

  • Show the differences in versions between two store paths, with their respective dependencies:

nix store diff-closures {{/nix/store/...}} {{/nix/store/...}}
