Install and configure gitFull with home-manager

Help
1

I currently have git installed and configured through home-manager, the relevant config being:

  home.packages = [
    pkgs.gitg
    pkgs.gittyup
  ];

  programs.git = {
    enable=true;
    extraConfig= {
      pull.rebase = false;
    };
    userEmail="myemail@fastmail.com.au";
    userName="Alistair Grant";
  };

I’d like to use gitFull instead so that gitk is installed, however changing programs.git to programs.gitFull raises an error that programs.gitFull does not exist. Adding pkgs.gitFull to home.packages causes:

error: collision between `/nix/store/1gldb5a32cncvs2iwylj1y0i6zbahvw2-git-with-svn-2.40.1/bin/git-http-backend' and `/nix/store/xpk2y9w0afsn3lxsi3976a2vciimvh7h-git-2.40.1/bin/git-http-backend'

How should I resolve this?

Thanks very much,

Assuming that I understood correctly (that you want to change the git package that is used by program.git), there is an option for that.

https://mipmip.github.io/home-manager-option-search/?query=Program.git.package
programs.git.package = pkgs.gitFull should do what you want

Thank you!

I didn’t even think to look there, which I should have.
