✨ Highlights
This is a release candidate for 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 environmentThis 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" }📖 Documentation
