When using nix-shell, it disregards your $SHELL and forces bash.

This appears to be the case due to some gnarly logic, [here]

auto rcfile = (Path) tmpDir + "/rc";

():

It would be awesome if this could respect the users $SHELL of choice.

Describe the solution you'd like

Use $SHELL, or allow setting a specific shell for the nix-shell environment.

Describe alternatives you've considered

There is no alternative 😰
