R""( # Examples * Recreate the lock file (i.e. update all inputs) and commit the new lock file: ```console # nix flake update warning: updating lock file '/home/myself/repos/testflake/flake.lock': • Updated input 'nix': 'github:NixOS/nix/9fab14adbc3810d5cc1f88672fde1eee4358405c' (2023-06-28) → 'github:NixOS/nix/8927cba62f5afb33b01016d5c4f7f8b7d0adde3c' (2023-07-11) • Updated input 'nixpkgs': 'github:NixOS/nixpkgs/3d2d8f281a27d466fa54b469b5993f7dde198375' (2023-06-30) → 'github:NixOS/nixpkgs/a3a3dda3bacf61e8a39258a0ed9c924eeca8e293' (2023-07-05) … warning: committed new revision '158bcbd9d6cc08ab859c0810186c1beebc982aad' ``` # Description This command recreates the lock file of a flake (`flake.lock`), thus updating the lock for every unlocked input (like `nixpkgs`) to its current version. This is equivalent to passing `--recreate-lock-file` to any command that operates on a flake. That is, ```console # nix flake update # nix build ``` is equivalent to: ```console # nix build --recreate-lock-file ``` )""
