# nix-cache-cut

Yet another garbage collector for Nix binary caches.

This one runs with a list of GC roots just like your ordinary

`nix-collect-garbage`. It does not operate time-based to expire old

files like [lheckemann's

cache-gc](https://github.com/lheckemann/cache-gc).

## Usage

```console

$ nix run github:astro/nix-cache-cut -- --help

Trim Nix binary caches according to GC roots

Usage: nix-cache-cut [OPTIONS]  [GCROOTS]...

Arguments:

      Cache directory

  [GCROOTS]...  Garbage collector roots [default: /nix/var/nix/gcroots]

Options:

  -n, --dry-run  Do not actually delete files

  -h, --help     Print help

  -V, --version  Print version

```
