direnv

A slightly less featureful alternative that works on more shells. Notably lacking alias support so you would need to update the PATH to include specific scripts which is much more annoying.

install

Like any other zsh plugin, clone it somewhere, typically .local/share/zsh/plugin/zsh-autoenv and then source it in your .zshrc:

source /home/kota/.local/share/zsh/plugins/zsh-autoenv/autoenv.zsh

use

Simply create .autoenv.zsh files wherever you'd like to use them:

autostash alias m='portainer-build'
autostash alias mf='yarn build:client'
autostash alias rp='portainer-run'

When you enter the directory for the first time you'll be prompted to accept the file. Then it should work properly by adding or removing the aliases as you change directories.
