7 zsh-autoenv automatically sources (known/whitelisted) `.autoenv.zsh` files,
8 typically 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 `.autoenv.zsh` is used for entering, and `.autoenv_leave.zsh`
18 - Interactively asks for confirmation / authentication before sourcing an
19 unknown `.autoenv.zsh` file, and remembers whitelisted files by their
26 You can use `autostash` in your `.autoenv.zsh` files to overwrite some
27 variable, e.g. `$PATH`. When leaving the directory, it will be automatically

42 Would you like to authorize it? (type 'yes') yes
50 There is also `stash`, `unstash` and `autounstash`, in case you want to
53 The varstash library has been taken from smartcd, and was optimized for Zsh.
56 ## Writing your .autoenv.zsh file
58 ### `autoenv_source_parent()`
60 zsh-autoenv will stop looking for `.autoenv.zsh` files upwards after the first
61 one has been found, but you can use the function `autoenv_source_parent` to
62 source the next `.autoenv.zsh` file upwards the directory tree from there.
64 The function accepts an optional argument, which allows to stop looking before
65 the file system root is reached:
68 autoenv_source_parent ../..
73 Clone the repository and source it from your `~/.zshrc` file:
75 % git clone https://github.com/Tarrasch/zsh-autoenv ~/.dotfiles/lib/zsh-autoenv
76 % echo 'source ~/.dotfiles/lib/zsh-autoenv/autoenv.zsh' >> ~/.zshrc
78 ### Using [antigen](https://github.com/zsh-users/antigen)
80 antigen-bundle Tarrasch/zsh-autoenv
82 ### Using [zgen](https://github.com/tarjoilija/zgen)
84 Add the following to your `.zshrc` where you are loading your plugins:
86 zgen load Tarrasch/zsh-autoenv
91 You can use the following variables to control zsh-autoenv's behavior.
92 Add them to your `~/.zshrc` file, before sourcing/loading zsh-autoenv.
94 ### AUTOENV\_FILE\_ENTER
95 Name of the file to look for when entering directories.
97 Default: `.autoenv.zsh`
99 ### AUTOENV\_FILE\_LEAVE
100 Name of the file to look for when leaving directories.
101 Requires `AUTOENV_HANDLE_LEAVE=1`.
103 Default: `.autoenv_leave.zsh`
105 ### AUTOENV\_LOOK\_UPWARDS
106 Look for zsh-autoenv "enter" files in parent dirs?
110 ### AUTOENV\_HANDLE\_LEAVE
111 Handle leave events when changing away from a subtree, where an "enter"
116 ### AUTOENV\_DISABLED
117 (Temporarily) disable zsh-autoenv. This gets looked at in the chpwd handler.
122 Enable debugging. Multiple levels are supported (max 2).

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