Adds a `repl-overlays` option, which specifies files that can overlay
and modify the top-level bindings in `nix repl`. For example, with the
following contents in `~/.config/nix/repl.nix`:
info: final: prev: let
optionalAttrs = predicate: attrs:
if predicate
then attrs
else {};
in
optionalAttrs (prev ? legacyPackages && prev.legacyPackages ? ${info.currentSystem})
{
pkgs = prev.legacyPackages.${info.currentSystem};
}
We can run `nix repl` and use `pkgs` to refer to `legacyPackages.${currentSystem}`:
$ nix repl --repl-overlays ~/.config/nix/repl.nix nixpkgs
Lix 2.90.0
