# Examples
* Optimise the Nix store:
```console
nix store optimise
```
# Description
This command deduplicates the Nix store: it scans the store for
regular files with identical contents, and replaces them with hard
links to a single instance.
Note that you can also set `auto-optimise-store` to `true` in
`nix.conf` to perform this optimisation incrementally whenever a new
path is added to the Nix store. To make this efficient, Lix maintains
a content-addressed index of all the files in the Nix store in the
directory `/nix/store/.links/`.
