Rename `nix show-config` to `nix config show` Part of #7672 My main motivation is to be able to use `nix.checkConfig`[1]. This doesn't work with Lix currently since the module uses `nix show-config` if the Nix version is <2.20pre and `nix config show` otherwise. I think this is the only instance where nixpkgs checks for which Nix commands exist that affects us now, so I figured we could just perform the rename here as well[2] and still provide the current version number[3]. I don't have a strong opinion on whether to deprecate `nix show-config`, the warning is added there automatically. (cherry picked from commit f300e11b056dea414d7d77bbc6e5a7dc5d9ddd41) [1] https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/options.html#opt-nix.checkConfig [2] I should add that I don't use the "official" ways of installing Lix because using the flake directly and callPackaging it seemed to fit better into my workflow: I already have a little mess to make sure Hydra from the flake uses the correct pkgs.nix and I didn't want to complicate it further while keeping a single package-set I can build in CI. Don't get me wrong, I think such a module for a quick-start is very important, just giving context on why I bother in the first place :) [3] When we go public, I think it's worth considering to add support in nixpkgs itself for Lix.

synopsis: rename 'nix show-config' to 'nix config show'
issues: 7672
prs: 9477
doc: add release note credits and categories for all the changes in Lix This does not add missing release notes, and it doesn't do anything about the profiles feature we would really like to have so we can have consistent credit. Change-Id: I72a6f7acfcff85f380be17dac76501a6f4693776

`nix show-config` was renamed to `nix config show` to be more consistent with the rest of the command-line interface.

Running `nix show-config` will now print a deprecation warning saying to use `nix config show` instead.
