7 zsh-autoenv automatically sources (known/whitelisted) `.env` files, typically
8 used in project root directories.
10 It handles "enter" and leave" events, nesting, and stashing of
11 variables (overwriting and restoring).
15 - Support for enter and leave events, which can use the same file.
16 By default `.env` is used for entering, and `.env_leave` for leaving.
17 - Interactively asks for confirmation / authentication before sourcing an
18 unknown `.env` file, and remembers whitelisted files by their hashed
25 You can use `autostash` in your `.env` files to overwrite some variable, e.g.
26 `$PATH`. When leaving the directory, it will be automatically restored.

40 Would you like to authorize it? (type 'yes') yes
48 There is also `stash`, `unstash` and `autounstash`, in case you want to
51 The varstash library has been taken from smartcd, and was optimized for Zsh.
54 ## Writing your .env file
56 ### `autoenv_source_parent()`
58 zsh-autoenv will stop looking for `.env` files after the first one has been
59 found. But you can use the function `autoenv_source_parent` to source a
60 parent `.env` file from there.
65 Clone the repository and source it from your `~/.zshrc` file:
67 % git clone https://github.com/Tarrasch/zsh-autoenv ~/.dotfiles/lib/zsh-autoenv
68 % echo 'source ~/.dotfiles/lib/zsh-autoenv/autoenv.zsh' >> ~/.zshrc
70 ### Using [antigen](https://github.com/zsh-users/antigen)
72 antigen-bundle Tarrasch/zsh-autoenv
74 ### Using [zgen](https://github.com/tarjoilija/zgen)
76 Add the following to your `.zshrc` where you are loading your plugins:
78 zgen load Tarrasch/zsh-autoenv
83 You can use the following variables to control zsh-autoenv's behavior.
84 Add them to your `~/.zshrc` file, before sourcing/loading zsh-autoenv.
86 ### AUTOENV\_FILE\_ENTER
87 Name of the file to look for when entering directories.
91 ### AUTOENV\_FILE\_LEAVE
92 Name of the file to look for when leaving directories.
93 Requires `AUTOENV_HANDLE_LEAVE=1`.
97 ### AUTOENV\_LOOK\_UPWARDS
98 Look for .env files in parent dirs?
102 ### AUTOENV\_HANDLE\_LEAVE
103 Handle leave events when changing away from a subtree, where an "enter"
108 ### AUTOENV\_DISABLED
109 (Temporarily) disable zsh-autoenv. This gets looked at in the chpwd handler.
114 Enable debugging. Multiple levels are supported (max 2).

126 This started as an optimized version of the bash plugin
127 [autoenv](https://github.com/kennethreitz/autoenv) but for Zsh, and grew a lot
128 of functionality on top of it (inspired by [smartcd]).
130 The code was initially based on
131 [@joshuaclayton](https://github.com/joshuaclayton)'s dotfiles.
132 In September 2013 [@Tarrasch](https://github.com/Tarrasch) packaged it into a
133 nice [antigen]-compatible unit with integration tests. Since November 2014,
134 [@blueyed](https://github.com/blueyed) took over and added many many nice
135 features, mainly inspired by [smartcd].
