This documentation would have saved me a handful of minutes! Can we merge this PR? |

In case anyone finds this issue before they find the paragraph mentioned here, this worked for me for combining multiple small scripts into a utility package. For example a {pkgs, ...}:
pkgs.symlinkJoin {
name = "my-scripts";
paths = [
(pkgs.writeShellScriptBin "script1" '' ... '');
(pkgs.writers.writePython3Bin "script2" {} '' ... '');
...
];
}Which installs to make script1, script2 available on the PATH. An example like that would've helped me, will open a PR |

Done as 280cb89, but since found https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/doc/build-helpers/trivial-build-helpers.chapter.md#symlinkjoin-trivial-builder-symlinkjoin - will just cross-link instead. |
