The previous documentation was inaccurate, stating that it would not update existing inputs. However these inputs will be updated if they are outdated (for example the version of an existing input has been changed). The new text properly reflects this behaviour.

# Examples
|
|
|
|
* Create the lock file for the flake in the current directory:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
# nix flake lock
|
|
warning: creating lock file '/home/myself/repos/testflake/flake.lock':
|
|
• Added input 'nix':
|
|
'github:NixOS/nix/9fab14adbc3810d5cc1f88672fde1eee4358405c' (2023-06-28)
|
|
• Added input 'nixpkgs':
|
|
'github:NixOS/nixpkgs/3d2d8f281a27d466fa54b469b5993f7dde198375' (2023-06-30)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Add missing inputs to the lock file for a flake in a different directory:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
# nix flake lock ~/repos/another
|
|
warning: updating lock file '/home/myself/repos/another/flake.lock':
|
|
• Added input 'nixpkgs':
|
|
'github:NixOS/nixpkgs/3d2d8f281a27d466fa54b469b5993f7dde198375' (2023-06-30)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> **Note**
|
|
>
|
|
> When trying to refer to a flake in a subdirectory, write `./another`
|
|
> instead of `another`.
|
|
> Otherwise Nix will try to look up the flake in the registry.
