Autoenv: Directory-based Environments

Magic per-project shell environments. Very pretentious.

What is it?

If a directory contains a .env file, it will automatically be executed when you cd into it.

This is great for...

auto-activating virtualenvs
project-specific environment variables
making millions

Foreman env files are completely compatible.

You can also nest envs within eachother. How awesome is that!?

Usage

Follow the white rabbit:

$ touch project/.env
$ echo "echo 'woah'" > project/.env
$ cd project
woah

Install

Install it easily:

Mac OS X Using Homebrew

$ brew install autoenv
$ echo 'source /usr/local/opt/autoenv/activate.sh' >> ~/.bash_profile

Using pip

$ pip install autoenv
$ echo "source `which activate.sh`" >> ~/.bashrc

Using git

$ git clone git://github.com/kennethreitz/autoenv.git ~/.autoenv
$ echo 'source ~/.autoenv/activate.sh' >> ~/.bashrc

Disclaimer

Autoenv overrides cd. If you already do this, invoke autoenv_init within your custom cd after sourcing activate.sh.

Autoenv can be disabled via unset cd if you experience I/O issues with certain file systems, particularly those that are FUSE-based (such as smbnetfs).
