I feel there are two requests in this issue:
nix-env
or nix profile
part of the help.nix-env
/nix-shell
hints or nix profile
/nix run
ones instead of relying on the script guessing from the filesystem.Is that right? Personally, just like @Gerschtli, I'd got for no nix-env
/nix profile
part of the help, and only the nix run
one, but it's probably not much harder to offer the choice!
FWIW, the new cli commands are displayed if the user profile manifest exists. See https://nixos.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/413950-nix/topic/nix-index/near/416719968
Hey, in my environment I don't use nix-env or nix profile at all. Also I don't use channels so I would like to see the new nix cli commands with the nixpkgs registry name instead.
What do you think about an environment variable, a config value, or a dedicated nix package for new nix cli/flakes commands only?
