Otherwise Nix will try to look up the flake in the registry. Description This command updates the inputs in a lock file (flake.lock). By default, all inputs are updated. If the lock file doesn't exist yet, it will be cre- ated. If inputs are not in the lock file yet, they will be added. Unlike other nix flake commands, nix flake update takes a list of names of inputs to update as its positional arguments and operates on the flake in the current directory. You can pass a different flake-url with --flake to override that default. The related command nix flake lock also creates lock files and adds missing inputs, but is safer as it will never update inputs already in the lock file. Options * --flake flake-url The flake to operate on. Default is the current directory. 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 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. * --eval-store store-url The URL of the Nix store to use for evaluation, i.e. to store deriva- tions (.drv files) and inputs referenced by them. * --impure Allow access to mutable paths and repositories. * --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. Common flake-related options * --commit-lock-file Commit changes to the flake's lock file. * --inputs-from flake-url Use the inputs of the specified flake as registry entries. * --no-registries Don't allow lookups in the flake registries. DEPRECATED Use --no-use-registries instead. * --output-lock-file flake-lock-path Write the given lock file instead of flake.lock within the top-level flake. * --override-input input-path flake-url Override a specific flake input (e.g. dwarffs/nixpkgs). This implies --no-write-lock-file. * --recreate-lock-file Recreate the flake's lock file from scratch. DEPRECATED Use nix flake update instead. * --reference-lock-file flake-lock-path Read the given lock file instead of flake.lock within the top-level flake. * --update-input input-path Update a specific flake input (ignoring its previous entry in the lock file). DEPRECATED Use nix flake update instead. Logging-related options * --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. * --verbose / -v Increase the logging verbosity level. 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. nix3-flake-update(1)
