- Collect garbage, such as removing unused paths:
|
||||
|
||||
`nix-store --gc`
|
||||
|
||||
- Hard-link identical files together to reduce space usage:
|
||||
|
||||
`nix-store --optimise`
|
||||
|
||||
- Delete a specific store path (must be unused):
|
||||
|
||||
`nix-store --delete {{/nix/store/...}}`
|
||||
|
||||
- Show all dependencies of a store path (package), in a tree format:
|
||||
|
||||
`nix-store --query --tree {{/nix/store/...}}`
|
||||
|
||||
- Calculate the total size of a certain store path with all the dependencies:
|
||||
|
||||
`du -cLsh $(nix-store --query --references {{/nix/store/...}})`
|
||||
|
||||
- Show all dependents of a particular store path:
|
||||
|
||||
`nix-store --query --referrers {{/nix/store/...}}`
