These activation operations will be run before the `pixi run` and `pixi shell` commands.

!!! note
The script specified in the `scripts` section are not directly sourced in the `pixi shell`, but rather they are called,
and the environment variables they set are then set in the `pixi shell`, so any defined function or other non-environment variable
modification to the environment will be ignored.

!!! note
The activation operations are run by the system shell interpreter as they run before an environment is available.
This means that it runs as `cmd.exe` on windows and `bash` on linux and osx (Unix).
