nix store add - Add a file or directory to the Nix store

       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.

       Add a directory to the store:

       # mkdir dir
       # echo foo > dir/bar

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

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

       •  --dry-run

          Show what this command would do without doing it.

       •  --hash-algo hash-algo

          Hash algorithm (md5, sha1, sha256, or sha512).

       •  --mode content-address-method

          How to compute the content-address of the store object.  One of:

          •  nar (the default): Serialises the input as a Nix Archive and passes that to the hash function.

          •  flat: Assumes that the input is a single file and directly passes it to the hash function.

          •  text: Like flat, but used for derivations serialized in  store  object  and  builtins.toFile.   For
             advanced use-cases only; for regular usage prefer nar and flat.

       •  --name / -n name

          Override the name component of the store path. It defaults to the base name of path.
