Autoenv

Until recently, the default file name used by this plugin was .env, but now it is .in. This is done in order not to conflict with .env files from numerous projects.

Autoenv automatically sources (known/whitelisted) .in and .out files.

This plugin adds support for enter and leave events. By default .in files are used when entering a directory, and .out files when leaving a directory. And you can set variable CLICOLOR=1 for enabling colored output.

The environment variables $AUTOENV_IN_FILE & $AUTOENV_OUT_FILE can be used to override the default values for the file names of .in & .out respectively.

Example of use

• If you are in the directory /home/user/dir1 and execute cd /var/www/myproject this plugin will source the following files if they exist

/home/user/dir1/.out
/home/user/.out
/home/.out
/var/.in
/var/www/.in
/var/www/myproject/.in

• If you are in the directory / and execute cd /home/user/dir1 this plugin will source the following files if they exist

/home/.in
/home/user/.in
/home/user/dir1/.in

• If you are in the directory /home/user/dir1 and execute cd / this plugin will source the following files if they exist

/home/user/dir1/.out
/home/user/.out
/home/.out

Examples of .in and .out files

Please, don't use pwd or $PWD, instead of this use $(dirname $0). Additionally, the path of the directory being entered or exited is passed as the first argument to both .in and .out scripts, should using a symlink be preferred.

For node.js developing:

.in

nvm use node
OLDPATH=$PATH
export PATH="$(dirname $0)/node_modules/.bin":$PATH

.out

nvm use system
export PATH=$OLDPATH

For projects with .env or/and .env.local

source $(dirname $0)/.env*
