-**Optional**: To protect your nix-shell against garbage collection
-you also need to add these options to your Nix configuration.
-
-If you are on NixOS also add the following lines to your `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix`:
-
-```Nix
-{
-  nix.settings = {
-    keep-outputs = true;
-    keep-derivations = true;
+    bash.enable = true; # see note on other shells below
   };
 }
 ```
 
-On other systems with Nix add the following configuration to your `/etc/nix/nix.conf`:
-
-```Nix
-keep-derivations = true
-keep-outputs = true
-```
+Check the current [Home Manager Options](https://mipmip.github.io/home-manager-option-search/?query=direnv)
+for integration with shells other than Bash. Be sure to also allow `home-manager` to
+manage your shell with `programs.<your_shell>.enable = true`.
