The current behaviour modifies the first writeable file from amongst .bash_profile, .bash_login and .profile. So .bash_profile (if it is writable) would be modified even if a user has already sourced nix.sh in, say, .profile. This commit introduces a new environment variable, NIX_INSTALLER_NO_MODIFY_PROFILE. If this is set during installation, then the modifications are unconditionally skipped. This is useful for users who have a manually curated set of dotfiles that they are porting to a new machine. In such scenarios, nix.sh is already sourced at a place where the user prefers. Without this change, the nix installer would insist on modifying .bash_profile if it exists. This commit also add documentations for both the current behaviour and the new override. |
