vix info

vix info shows Vix environment information, paths, caches, and local state.

Use it when you want to inspect where Vix stores data and understand the current local setup.

Usage

vix info

What it does

vix info prints useful information about your Vix installation and local environment, including: Vix version, root path, registry index path and state, store cache path and state, global packages manifest, build artifact cache path, disk usage, and package counts.

Basic usage

vix info

What it helps debug

Use vix info when debugging: dependency installation issues, registry sync issues, package store state, global package state, build artifact cache usage, disk usage problems, or unexpected cache behavior.

Relationship with other commands

vix info is read-only. It does not modify your project or global Vix state. Use it before cleanup commands when you want to understand what exists.

vix store gc --dry-run

Common workflows

vix info && vix store gc --dry-run

Common mistakes

Expecting vix info to fix problems

vix info only prints information. Use vix doctor for environment checks, vix clean for project cleanup, vix reset for dependency reinstall.

Expecting vix info to update the registry

vix registry sync  # to update registry metadata

Expecting vix info to remove cache data

vix store gc        # to clean the store
