+# Copying packages to a remote Nix store
+
+This is useful if your local machine is powerful and you have built a number of
+packages on it, but want to re-use them on another machine, without using a Nix
+cache or rebuilding them.
+
+```sh
+nix copy --to ssh-ng://admin@100.96.121.13 /nix/store/???
+```
+
+If you use [nixci](#nixci), this looks like:
+
+```sh
+nixci . -- --option system aarch64-linux | xargs nix copy --to ssh-ng://admin@100.96.121.13
+```
