Direnv
Direnv is an extension for your shell. It augments existing shells with a new feature that can load and unload environment variables depending on the current directory.
Installation
Install Direnv on Mac OS, Windows or Linux, by following the official direnv installation docs.
Example on Mac OS:
brew install direnv
For direnv to work properly it needs to be hooked into the shell. Each shell has its own extension mechanism. Follow the official direnv hook docs.
Example on zsh:
eval "$(direnv hook zsh)"
Getting started
Create a new .envrc file with your environment variables.
Example .envrc file:
export ENVVAR="test"
export ENVVAR2="test2"
Allow the current directory in direnv.
direnv allow .
