== Aliases ==
You can set aliases for all shells via:

    rebuild = "sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake /etc/nixos/#nixos";
};|name=/etc/nixos/configuration.nix|lang=nix}}

If you are using [[Flakes]] with fish, the 'command-not-found' error message will not work correctly, but can be fixed by disabling the builtin Nix <code>command-not-found</code> program:<ref>https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/425613#issuecomment-3076081921</ref>
{{File|3=programs.command-not-found.enable = false;|name=/etc/nixos/configuration.nix|lang=nix}}
