[SOLVE]nix don't have manpages

I think it is a bit annoying not having man page on hand
so

#!/bin/env fish
mkdir man1
for i in $(cat """copy https://man.archlinux.org/listing/nix remove")" and replace "(" with "." """ .txt )
    curl "https://man.archlinux.org/man/$i.raw" >man1/$i -l
end
gzip man1/*

export MANPATH=":"$XDG_CONFIG_HOME"/man/"

That seems to be due to a decision by nix devs , see https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … /issues/14
