nix3-registry-pin(1)	     General Commands Manual	    nix3-registry-pin(1)

	    Warning
	    This program is experimental and its interface is subject to change.

Name
     nix  registry  pin  -  pin a flake to its current version or to the current
     version of a flake URL

Synopsis
     nix registry pin [option...] url locked

Examples
     *	Pin nixpkgs to its most recent Git revision:

     # nix registry pin nixpkgs

	    Afterwards the user registry will have an entry like this:

     nix registry list | grep '^user '
     user   flake:nixpkgs github:NixOS/nixpkgs/925b70cd964ceaedee26fde9b19cc4c4f081196a

	    and nix flake metadata will say:

     # nix flake metadata nixpkgs
     Resolved URL:  github:NixOS/nixpkgs/925b70cd964ceaedee26fde9b19cc4c4f081196a
     Locked URL:    github:NixOS/nixpkgs/925b70cd964ceaedee26fde9b19cc4c4f081196a
     a|

     *	Pin nixpkgs in a custom registry to its most recent Git revision:

     # nix registry pin --registry ./custom-flake-registry.json nixpkgs

Description
     This command adds an entry to the user registry that maps	flake  reference
     url to the corresponding locked flake reference, that is, a flake reference
     that  specifies  an exact revision or content hash. This ensures that until
     this registry entry is removed, all uses of url will resolve to exactly the
     same flake.

     Entries can be removed using nix registry remove.
