There was a problem hiding this comment.
I'm assuming nix-profile.fish.in is converted to nix.fish somehow, but that's unclear.

See #440. The main problem with adding fish support is that it will quickly get out of sync with the bash profile script, since the maintainers (e.g. me) don't use fish. |
Ah, I didn't see that one. I just read it, and saw what people tried to do there. I understand your concern here. Perhaps an alternative would be to display a message if the user has fish installed, saying that nix will only work in bash? |

Maybe we could suggest https://github.com/lilyball/nix-env.fish/. When I was using Nix on Arch, that plugin saved my sanity. |

This won't be merged, as the team won't maintain non-bash scripts. Instead, I made a new PR to display a message instead: #4033 |
I don't understand how nix-profile.sh.in gets turned into nix-profile.sh, so this PR might be missing something.
