<title>Interactive shell helpers</title>
<para>
Some packages provide the shell integration to be more useful. But unlike other systems, nix doesn't have a standard share directory location. This is why a bunch <command>PACKAGE-share</command> scripts are shipped that print the location of the corresponding shared folder. Current list of such packages is as following:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
<literal>autojump</literal>: <command>autojump-share</command>
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<literal>fzf</literal>: <command>fzf-share</command>
</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
E.g. <literal>autojump</literal> can then used in the .bashrc like this:
<screen>
source "$(autojump-share)/autojump.bash"
</screen>
</para>
