# Name
|
|
|
|
`nix-env --switch-generation` - set user environment to given profile generation
|
|
|
|
# Synopsis
|
|
|
|
`nix-env` {`--switch-generation` | `-G`} *generation*
|
|
|
|
# Description
|
|
|
|
This operation makes generation number *generation* the current
|
|
generation of the active profile. That is, if the `profile` is the path
|
|
to the active profile, then the symlink `profile` is made to point to
|
|
`profile-generation-link`, which is in turn a symlink to the actual user
|
|
environment in the Nix store.
|
|
|
|
Switching will fail if the specified generation does not exist.
