2022-04-25feat: add integration with zsh's run-helpmidchildan
2022-04-22Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/master' into nixbuildaddprintstorepathsThéophane Hufschmitt
2022-04-21fix: builtins.toFile adds path to allowedPathsTom Bereknyei
The produced path is then allowed be imported or utilized elsewhere: ``` assert (43 == import (builtins.toFile "source" "43")); "good" ``` This will still fail on write-only stores.

2022-04-05manual: Add some anchor targets for the nix.conf optionsThéophane Hufschmitt
For each `nix.conf` option, add an empty html node with a unique `id` that can be used as an anchor target. Also make the name of the option be a link to that target so that it’s easily discoverable. We can’t rewrite the whole list as an html definition list like it’s done for the builtins because these options also appear in a man page, and the manpage renderer (lowdown) can’t render arbitrary html. But the hack here allows to keep the manpage and have the links in the html version. Fix https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/5745

2022-02-22doc: Add detailed uninstall section for macOStoonn
The multi-user installation on macOS, which is now the only option, has gotten complicated enough that it discourages some users from checking Nix out for fear of being left with a "dirty" system. Detailed uninstallation instructions should make this less of an issue.
