This fixes an issue with shells like fish that are not fully POSIX compliant. The syntax `ENV=val cmd' doesn't work properly in there. This issue has been addressed in #45932 and #45945, however it has been recommended to use a single shell (`stdenv.shell' which is either `bash' or `sh') to significantly reduce the maintenance overload in the future.

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the Hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-18.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
