+1. My current workaround is

# .bashrc
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
    . /etc/bashrc
fi
if [[ -z "$IN_NIX_SHELL" ]]; then
    cd /usr/local/ec2
    ... other logic
fi

My workaround is the reverse, my .bashrc looks like:

# If not running interactively, don't do anything
if [[ -z "$PS1" ]]; then return; fi
if [[ -n $IN_NIX_SHELL ]]; then return; fi

# usual code here
#...

@zimbatm, should the list be pinged about this? AIUI, the issue is as live as ever..

Oops, I removed the branch by mistake and it auto-closed the associated PR.

Yes I would still like this to be implemented but don't know what the next steps are.

@zimbatm, discussion, discussion, discussion! Ping the list, if the set of people participating here is insufficient -- and it seems that it isn't.

Feel free to take that over. I'm already juggling with too many things at the moment.

Once #1152 goes through it will also make it easier to validate PR functionalities

Actually, what is the state of issue in Nix 1.12? The current Perl script won't be used in future I guess

Closing as the PR is out of date
