🎀 nix3-store(1) — General Commands Manual 🎀

okay so bestie, gather round, because this one is from the General Commands Manual and it's literally called nix3-store(1) 💖. It's all about the nix store command and every little subcommand it's hiding under its hoodie. And um, before we go any further:

⚠️ Warning — this program is experimental and its interface is subject to change. So like, don't get too attached to the exact vibes. It might change its whole personality overnight. 🙈
