# Examples
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Optimise the Nix store:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```console
|
||
|
|
nix store optimise
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|

# Description
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This command deduplicates the Nix store: it scans the store for
|
||
|
|
regular files with identical contents, and replaces them with hard
|
||
|
|
links to a single instance.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that you can also set `auto-optimise-store` to `true` in
|
||
|
|
`nix.conf` to perform this optimisation incrementally whenever a new
|
||
|
|
path is added to the Nix store. To make this efficient, Nix maintains
|
||
|
|
a content-addressed index of all the files in the Nix store in the
|
||
|
|
directory `/nix/store/.links/`.
