💅 nix3-realisation(1) — the group-chat guide ✨

okay bestie, so this one's from the General Commands Manual, and before we even get into it:

⚠️ Warning — This program is experimental and its interface is subject to change. So like... don't get too attached to the exact vibes, mwah. 🙈

🌸 Name 🌸

nix realisation — manipulate a Nix realisation 💖

like, literally what it sounds like. you get to poke at a realisation and tell it what to do. main character energy for a build artifact, honestly.

🦋 Synopsis 🦋

nix realisation [option…] subcommand

where subcommand is one of the following:

  • nix realisation info — query information about one or several realisations 🔥

✨ Options ✨

  • --debug — sets the logging verbosity level to debug. maximum yapping mode, ngl. 🗣️
  • --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. the whole thing. no crumbs left behind. 😭
  • --quiet — decrease the logging verbosity level. shhh, she's being demure. 🤫
  • --verbose / -v — increase the logging verbosity level. she's talking MORE now 🗣️🔥
  • -L — (aka the short bestie of --print-build-logs, listed together above) 🫶

🌈 Miscellaneous global options

  • --help — show usage information. our fav when you're lost, no cap 🧭✨
  • --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). your rules now, bestie 👑
  • --refresh — consider all previously downloaded files out-of-date. she is not trusting that cache today 🌸
  • --version — show version information. the classic "who even am I" check 💖
📝 Note — See man nix.conf for overriding configuration settings with command line flags. iykyk 🧚
