== Changing /bin/sh == | |||
{{Warning|Please note that NixOS assumes all over the place that shell to be Bash, so override the default setting only if you know exactly what you're doing.}} | |||
{{ic|/bin/sh}} is a symlink to your default POSIX-Compliant shell. It's used when writing shell scripts, so that the script works on all machines independently of what shell the user is using. /bin/sh doesn't have to be the same as your interactive shell (e.g. the one you use in your terminal). In fact, a lot of people set their interactive shells to [[zsh]]/[[fish]], but set /bin/sh to dash, because it's fast and scripts don't need any of those fancy zsh/fish features. | |||
To change your default POSIX shell on NixOS, use | |||
<syntaxhighlight lang="nix"> | |||
# Dash is just an example, you can use whatever you want | |||
environment.binsh = "${pkgs.dash}/bin/dash"; | |||
</syntaxhighlight> | |||
