Allow a pure nix-shell to inherit environment variables to signal some programs (such as
curl
) to use a proxy. This is quite common in eg corporate environments.Issue arises for me whilst using
stack
, I opened a PR over there as well, but maybe here it can be solved in a more general way. Reference: commercialhaskell/stack#5171. As mentioned there, possible solutions are to add those variables to something like~/.bashrc
, which is totally fine too of course. However, maybe these vars are prevalent enough to warrant their inclusion in a pure nix shell.
