Name

       nix store add-path - add a path to the Nix store

Synopsis

       nix store add-path [option…] path

Description

       Copy path to the Nix store, and print the resulting store path on standard output.

              Warning

              The resulting store path is not registered as a garbage collector root, so it could
              be deleted before you have a chance to register it.

Examples

       Add a directory to the store:

       # mkdir dir
       # echo foo > dir/bar

       # nix store add-path ./dir
       /nix/store/6pmjx56pm94n66n4qw1nff0y1crm8nqg-dir

       # cat /nix/store/6pmjx56pm94n66n4qw1nff0y1crm8nqg-dir/bar
       foo

Options

       • --dry-run
         Show what this command would do without doing it.

       • --name / -n name
         Override the name component of the store path. It defaults to the base name of path.
