.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This command updates the user environment so that it corresponds to the configuration specified in
|
|
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/home-manager/home.nix
|
|
or
|
|
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/home-manager/flake.nix.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All operations using this tool expects a sub-command that indicates the operation to perform. It must be one of
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
|
|
.It Cm build
|
|
.RS 4
|
|
Build configuration into a result directory.
|
|
.RE
|
|
|
|
.It Cm init Op Fl -switch Op Ar dir
|
|
.RS 14
|
|
Generates an initial home.nix file for the current user. If Nix flakes are
|
|
enabled, then this command also generates a flake.nix file.
|
|
.sp
|
|
If a path
|
|
.Ar dir
|
|
is given then the configuration will be generated in that directory. Otherwise, the configuration will be generated in
|
|
~/.config/home-manager. The output directory will be created if it does not exist.
|
|
.sp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl -switch
|
|
option is given, then the generated configuration is activated.
|
|
.sp
|
|
Note, this command will not overwrite any existing files. It is therefore safe to initialize a configuration, edit it, and then re-run the
|
|
.Cm init
|
|
command with
|
|
.Fl -switch
|
|
enabled to activate the configuration.
|

|
|
.RS 4
|
|
Remove generations older than
