Release Info
To be productive with Nix, you must master the $SHELL; this usually equates to the BASH $SHELL, but most-certainly can be any installed $SHELL: /etc/shells. The wealth of useful Nix commands are largely accessible via the $SHELL. Using $SHELL semantics, it is possible to transform data in myriad applicable and useful ways. It all starts and ends with the $SHELL. Explore BASH $SHELL in this release.Release Syllabus
