💖 GUIX(1) — the guix copy manual, bestie edition 💖

okay so real talk: this is the manual page for guix copy, from GNU Guix version 1.3.0.27848-a3264. It lives in section 1 (User Commands) of the manual, and it's giving "let me yeet packages across the network over SSH" energy. no cap. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

guix — this is the manual page for guix copy (GNU Guix) 1.3.0.27848-a3264. that's the whole vibe, we move. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

guix copy [OPTION]... ITEMS...

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

bestie, listen. this command copies ITEMS to or from a host you name, and it does it over SSH. that's it, that's the whole job. 🌈

  • --to=HOST — send ITEMS to HOST 📤
  • --from=HOST — receive ITEMS from HOST 📥

💜 the options (yes, all of them, we're doing this)

  • -v, --verbosity=LEVEL — use the verbosity LEVEL you picked. chatty or chill, your call ✨
  • -L, --load-path=DIR — prepend DIR to the package module search path, so Guix looks there first 👀
  • -K, --keep-failed — keep the build tree of failed builds. messy queen behaviour, but sometimes you need the receipts 💀
  • -k, --keep-going — keep going even when some of the derivations fail. we do not stop for anyone 🫶
  • -n, --dry-run — do not build the derivations. just look, don't touch 🙈
  • --fallback — fall back to building when the substituter fails 🔁
  • --no-substitutes — build it yourself instead of resorting to pre-built substitutes. cottagecore, artisanal, from scratch 🧚
  • --substitute-urls=URLS — fetch substitutes from URLS if they are authorized 🔐
  • --no-grafts — do not graft packages 🚫
  • --no-offload — do not attempt to offload builds 🛑
  • --max-silent-time=SECONDS — mark the build as failed after SECONDS of silence. if it ghosts you that long, it's over 💀
  • --timeout=SECONDS — mark the build as failed after SECONDS of activity. yes, activity — that's what it says 📝
  • --rounds=N — build N times in a row to detect non-determinism. consistency check, periodt 🔥
  • -c, --cores=N — allow the use of up to N CPU cores for the build 💪
  • -M, --max-jobs=N — allow at most N build jobs 🧮
  • --debug=LEVEL — produce debugging output at LEVEL 🐛
  • -h, --help — display this help and exit. the classic escape hatch 🚪
  • -V, --version — display version information and exit. main character info drop 👑

😭 REPORTING BUGS 😭

found a bug? do not suffer in silence, tell the devs:

they literally want your bug reports. it's not a bother, it's a gift. send it. 🫶

and that's a wrap on the guix copy page, my love ✨ this was shipped by GNU back in November 2022, and the page itself is tagged GUIX(1). go copy some items, stay hydrated, and remember: --dry-run first. mwah 💋
