⚠️ Warning ⚠️ bestie. this program is experimental and its interface is subject to change. like, the vibes are still in beta. don't build your whole personality on it 😭

okay so this page lives in the General Commands Manual, and it's all about yeeting packages out of your profile 💖

✨ Name ✨

nix profile remove — remove packages from a profile 🎀

🌸 Synopsis 🌸

nix profile remove [option…] elements…

🦋 Examples 🦋

  • Remove a package by name:
# nix profile remove hello
  • Remove all the packages (scorched earth, no notes):
# nix profile remove --all
  • Remove packages by regular expression (regex girlies rise up 👑):
# nix profile remove --regex '.*vim.*'
  • Remove a package by store path:
# nix profile remove /nix/store/xwjlac5ay8hw3djdm5llhjz79isgngbl-hello-2.10

💜 Description 💜

This command removes a package from a profile. That's it, that's the whole thing. simple, clean, iconic ✨

🎀 Options 🎀

  • --all — match, like, every package in the profile. all of them. gone 🫶
  • --profile path — the profile you wanna operate on, bestie.
  • --regex pattern — a regular expression that matches one or more packages in the profile.

🧚 Common evaluation options 🧚

  • --arg name expr — pass the value expr as the argument name to Nix functions.
  • --arg-from-file name path — pass the contents of the file path as the argument name to Nix functions.
  • --arg-from-stdin name — pass the contents of stdin as the argument name to Nix functions.
  • --argstr name string — pass the string string as the argument name to Nix functions.
  • --debugger — start an interactive environment if evaluation fails. main character debugging arc 💅
  • --eval-store store-url — the URL of the Nix store to use for evaluation, i.e. to store derivations (.drv files) and inputs referenced by them.
  • --impure — allow access to mutable paths and repositories. living dangerously, we love that 🔥
  • --include / -I path — add path to search path entries used to resolve lookup paths.

This option may be given multiple times.

Paths added through -I take precedence over the nix-path configuration setting and the NIX_PATH environment variable.

  • --override-flake original-ref resolved-ref — override the flake registries, redirecting original-ref to resolved-ref.
  • --debug — set the logging verbosity level to ‘debug’.
  • --log-format format — set the format of log output; one of raw, internal-json, bar or bar-with-logs.
  • --print-build-logs / -L — print full build logs on standard error.
  • --quiet — decrease the logging verbosity level. shhh 🤫
  • --verbose / -v — increase the logging verbosity level. tell me EVERYTHING 💀

🌈 Miscellaneous global options 🌈

  • --help — show usage information.
  • --offline — disable substituters and consider all previously downloaded files up-to-date.
  • --option name value — set the Nix configuration setting name to value (overriding nix.conf).
  • --refresh — consider all previously downloaded files out-of-date.
  • --repair — during evaluation, rewrite missing or corrupted files in the Nix store. during building, rebuild missing or corrupted store paths.
  • --version — show version information.
📌 Note See man nix.conf for overriding configuration settings with command line flags.

and that's the whole page, bestie 🫶 this was nix3-profile-remove(1) from the General Commands Manual, and the footer is just the page name nix3-profile-remove(1) again doing its little encore. anyway, go forth and remove packages responsibly, no cap 💖✨🎀
