✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is the manual page for guix style — part of GNU Guix, version 1.5.0rc1.47-fc2f5a. yes the whole squad is here, the header said GUIX(1) and "User Commands", we love a formal entrance 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

guix style [OPTION]... [PACKAGE]...

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

the whole point: update package definitions to the latest style. that's it, that's the vibe check — it takes your package definitions and gives them a glow-up so they match current conventions ✨

  • -S, --styling=RULE — apply RULE, a styling rule. you're picking which glow-up, bestie 🎀
  • -l, --list-stylings — display the list of available style rules. window shopping fr fr 🛍️
  • -n, --dry-run — display files that would be edited but do nothing. it's giving imagine — you see the receipts but nothing actually happens 🙈
  • -L, --load-path=DIR — prepend DIR to the package module search path. telling it where to go look 🔍
  • -e, --expression=EXPR — consider the package EXPR evaluates to. you hand it an expression, it hands you a package 🤝
  • --input-simplification=POLICY — follow POLICY for package input simplification, one of 'silent', 'safe', or 'always'. three whole modes, pick your fighter 👑
  • -f, --whole-file — format the entire contents of the given file(s). not just a trim, a full makeover 💇‍♀️
  • -A, --alphabetical-sort — place the contents in alphabetical order as well. a-z, in order, because chaos is not the aesthetic here 🔤
  • -h, --help — display this help and exit. the classic escape hatch 🚪
  • -V, --version — display version information and exit. who am i, where am i 📜
