Hello! This is a news entry and it represents an
experimental new feature of Home Manager. The idea is to
inform you when something of importance happens in Home
Manager or its modules.
We will try to not disturb you about the same news more than
once so the next time you run
home-manager switch
or
home-manager build
it should not notify you about this text again.
News items may be conditional and will then only show if the
condition holds, for example if they are relevant to your
configuration.
If you want to see all relevant news then please use the
home-manager news
command.
Since this is an experimental feature any positive or
negative feedback would be greatly appreciated. For example,
by commenting in https://git.io/v5BJL.

sourcing your plugins it achieves no startup overhead.

The 'programs.git.extraConfig' parameter now accepts
attributes instead of strings which allows more flexible
configuration.
The string parameter type will be deprecated in the future,
please change your configuration file accordingly.
For example, if your configuration includes
programs.git.extraConfig = '''
[core]
editor = vim
''';
then you can now change it to
programs.git.extraConfig = {
core = {
editor = "vim";
};

tool in that NIX_AUTO_INSTALL is not supported.
