| `Overhaul `nix flake update` and `nix flake lock` UX | 8817 |
The interface for creating and updating lock files has been overhauled:
-
nix flake lockonly creates lock files and adds missing inputs now. It will never update existing inputs. -
nix flake updatedoes the same, but will update inputs. -
Passing no arguments will update all inputs of the current flake, just like it already did.
-
Passing input names as arguments will ensure only those are updated. This replaces the functionality of
nix flake lock --update-input -
To operate on a flake outside the current directory, you must now pass
--flake path/to/flake. -
The flake-specific flags
--recreate-lock-fileand--update-inputhave been removed from all commands operating on installables. They are superceded bynix flake update.
