nix3-fmt(1)		    General Commands Manual		   nix3-fmt(1)

	      Warning
	      This  program  is	 experimental <../../development/experimental-
	      features.md#xp-feature-nix-command> and its interface is subject
	      to change.

Name
       nix fmt - reformat your code in the standard style

Synopsis
       nix fmt [option...] args...

Description
       nix fmt (an alias for nix formatter run)	calls the formatter  specified
       in the flake.

       Flags  can  be  forwarded  to the formatter by using -- followed	by the
       flags.

       Any arguments will be forwarded to the formatter. Typically  these  are
       the files to format.

       The    environment    variable	 PRJ_ROOT   (according	 to   prj-spec
       <https://github.com/numtide/prj-spec>) will be set to the absolute path
       to the directory	containing the closest parent  flake.nix  relative  to
       the current directory.

Example
       To use the official Nix formatter <https://github.com/NixOS/nixfmt>:

       # flake.nix
       {
	 outputs = { nixpkgs, self }: {
	   formatter.x86_64-linux = nixpkgs.legacyPackages.${system}.nixfmt-tree;
	 };
       }

Options
         --json <#opt-json>

	  Produce  output  in JSON format, suitable for	consumption by another
	  program.

         --no-pretty <#opt-no-pretty>

	  Print	compact	JSON output on a single	line, even when	the output  is
	  a  terminal.	Some commands may print	multiple JSON objects on sepa-
	  rate lines.

		   See `--pretty`.

         --pretty <#opt-pretty>

	  Print	multi-line, indented JSON output for readability.

		   Default: indent if output is	to a terminal.

		   This	option is only effective when `--json` is also specified.

   Common evaluation options
         --arg	<#opt-arg> name	expr

	  Pass the value expr as the argument name to Nix functions.

         --arg-from-file <#opt-arg-from-file> name path

	  Pass the contents of file path as the	argument  name	to  Nix	 func-
	  tions.

         --arg-from-stdin <#opt-arg-from-stdin> name

	  Pass the contents of stdin as	the argument name to Nix functions.

         --argstr <#opt-argstr> name string

	  Pass the string string as the	argument name to Nix functions.

         --debugger <#opt-debugger>

	  Start	an interactive environment if evaluation fails.

         --eval-store <#opt-eval-store> store-url

	  The  URL  of	the  Nix  store	<../../store/types/index.md#store-url-
	  format> to use for  evaluation,  i.e.	 to  store  derivations	 (.drv
	  files) and inputs referenced by them.

         --impure <#opt-impure>

	  Allow	access to mutable paths	and repositories.

         --include <#opt-include> / -I	path

	  Add  path  to	 search	 path  entries	used  to  resolve lookup paths
	  <../../language/constructs/lookup-path.md>

	  This option may be given multiple times.

	  Paths	added through -I take precedence over the nix-path  configura-
	  tion	setting	<../../command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-nix-path> and the
	  NIX_PATH environment variable	 <../../command-ref/env-common.md#env-
	  NIX_PATH>.

         --override-flake <#opt-override-flake> original-ref resolved-ref

	  Override the flake registries, redirecting original-ref to resolved-
	  ref.

   Common flake-related	options
         --commit-lock-file <#opt-commit-lock-file>

	  Commit changes to the	flake's	lock file.

         --inputs-from	<#opt-inputs-from> flake-url

	  Use the inputs of the	specified flake	as registry entries.

         --no-registries <#opt-no-registries>

	  Don't	allow lookups in the flake registries.

		 DEPRECATED

		 Use --no-use-registries <../../command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-
		 use-registries> instead.

         --no-update-lock-file	<#opt-no-update-lock-file>

	  Do not allow any updates to the flake's lock file.

         --no-write-lock-file <#opt-no-write-lock-file>

	  Do not write the flake's newly generated lock	file.

         --output-lock-file <#opt-output-lock-file> flake-lock-path

	  Write	the given lock file instead of flake.lock within the top-level
	  flake.

         --override-input <#opt-override-input> input-path flake-url

	  Override a specific flake input (e.g.	dwarffs/nixpkgs). This implies
	  --no-write-lock-file.

         --recreate-lock-file <#opt-recreate-lock-file>

	  Recreate the flake's lock file from scratch.

		 DEPRECATED

		 Use  nix  flake update	<../../command-ref/new-cli/nix3-flake-
		 update.md> instead.

         --reference-lock-file	<#opt-reference-lock-file> flake-lock-path

	  Read the given lock file instead of flake.lock within	the  top-level
	  flake.

         --update-input <#opt-update-input> input-path

	  Update  a  specific  flake input (ignoring its previous entry	in the
	  lock file).

		 DEPRECATED

		 Use nix flake	update	<../../command-ref/new-cli/nix3-flake-
		 update.md> instead.

   Logging-related options
         --debug <#opt-debug>

	  Set the logging verbosity level to `debug'.

         --log-format <#opt-log-format> format

	  Set the format of log	output;	one of raw, internal-json, bar or bar-
	  with-logs.

         --print-build-logs <#opt-print-build-logs> / -L

	  Print	full build logs	on standard error.

         --quiet <#opt-quiet>

	  Decrease the logging verbosity level.

         --verbose <#opt-verbose> / -v

	  Increase the logging verbosity level.

   Miscellaneous global	options
         --help <#opt-help>

	  Show usage information.

         --offline <#opt-offline>

	  up-to-date.

         --option <#opt-option> name value

	  Set  the  Nix	 configuration	setting	 name  to  value   (overriding
	  nix.conf).

	  Consider all previously downloaded files out-of-date.

         --repair <#opt-repair>

         --version <#opt-version>

	  Show version information.

   Options that	change the interpretation of installables
         --expr <#opt-expr> expr

	  Interpret	       installables	       <../../command-ref/new-
	  cli/nix.md#installables>  as attribute paths relative	to the Nix ex-
	  pression expr.

         --file <#opt-file> / -f file

	  Interpret	       installables	       <../../command-ref/new-
	  cli/nix.md#installables>  as attribute paths relative	to the Nix ex-
	  pression stored in file. If file is the character -, then a Nix  ex-
	  pression is read from	standard input.	Implies	--impure.

	  Note

	  See man nix.conf <../../command-ref/conf-file.md#command-line-flags>
	  for overriding configuration settings	with command line flags.
