nix3-formatter(1)

📦 version 2.35.3, in fedora 44

🦋 NAME

okay so bestie, this is nix formatter — it builds or runs the formatter ✨

(also, hi, you're reading the nix3-formatter(1) page, from the General Commands Manual, and yeah she's cute, she's iconic, she's very much giving "I know exactly what I'm doing" 💅)

⚠️ Warning ⚠️ this program is experimental and its interface is subject to change. like, don't get too attached to the syntax, she's still figuring herself out 😭

🌸 SYNOPSIS

nix formatter [option…] subcommand

where subcommand is one of the following:

  • nix formatter build — build the current flake's formatter 🏗️
  • nix formatter run — reformat your code in the standard style 💖

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • --debug — sets the logging verbosity level to debug. we're nosy today and we want everything 🔍
  • --log-format format — sets the format of log output; one of raw, internal-json, bar or bar-with-logs. pick your aesthetic, bestie 🎀
  • --print-build-logs, -L — print full build logs on standard error. no secrets here, we're oversharing 💀
  • --quiet — decrease the logging verbosity level. shhh 🤫 she's in her mysterious era

🌈 Miscellaneous global options

  • --offline — disable substituters and consider all previously downloaded files up-to-date. airplane mode but make it Nix ✈️
  • --option name value — set the Nix configuration setting name to value (overriding nix.conf). you're the main character now, you make the rules 👑
  • --refresh — consider all previously downloaded files out-of-date. glow-up time, everything's getting rechecked 🦋
