Description
nix-shell "<home-manager>" -A installfails when a target path to be written by home-manager (eg~/.profile) already exists. This causes problems when I try to bootstrap non-nixos machines with home-manager.There's currently no way to modify the install shellHook, which runs
exec home-manager init --switch --no-flake. This PR allows customizing the shellHook with an override (for example, changing it toexec home-manager init --switch --no-flake -b backup).I've also added an integration test for illustration, happy to remove if you think it's overkill.
Checklist
