## Updating
Over time, to update the software that's installed on your machine, you can use
`nix flake update`, to update your `flake.lock` file, and then `nixos-rebuild
switch`, to get switch your system to the new dependencies.
Over time, you'll want to update the software that's installed on your machine,
to do that, we'll first want to update the `flake.lock` file, which contains
the commit sha of the nixpkgs repo that's being used. To do so, you can use
this command (while in `~/dots` directory):
```sh
nix flake update
```
After which, you'll probably also want to rebuild your system and switch:
```sh
nixos-rebuild switch --flake .
```
> [!TIP]
> This replaces the legacy (non-flake) regime's command: `nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade`
