[`temp-dir`](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-temp-dir) can now be set in the Nix
|
||
|
|
configuration to change the temporary directory. This can be used to relocate all temporary files
|
||
|
|
to another filesystem without affecting the `TMPDIR` env var inherited by interactive
|
||
|
|
`nix-shell`/`nix shell` shells or `nix run` commands.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also on macOS, the `TMPDIR` env var is no longer unset for interactive shells when pointing
|
||
|
|
to a per-session `/var/folders/` directory.
