✨ Highlights

This is the first release with the new pixi global implementation. It's a full reimplementation of pixi global where it now uses a manifest file just like pixi projects. This way you can declare your environments and save them to a VCS.

It also brings features like, adding dependencies to a global environment, and exposing multiple binaries from the same environment that are not part of the main installed packages.

Test it out with:

# Normal feature
pixi global install ipython

# New features
pixi global install \
    --environment science \           # Defined the environment name
    --expose scipython=ipython \      # Expose binaries under custom names
    ipython scipy                     # Define multiple dependencies for one environment

This should result in a manifest in $HOME/.pixi/manifests/pixi-global.toml:

version = 1

[envs.ipython]
channels = ["conda-forge"]
dependencies = { ipython = "*" }
exposed = { ipython = "ipython", ipython3 = "ipython3" }

[envs.science]
channels = ["conda-forge"]
dependencies = { ipython = "*", scipy = "*" }
exposed = { scipython = "ipython" }
