fbenv

ATTENTION: Early alpha!

Why should I use this tool?

It is direnv but for a more global scope. So if you want to have directory based environments, use direnv, but if you want to have an environment for the current shell, you can use fbenv.

Prerequisites

• Installation via cargo install fbenv
• Optionally install fzf helping you with the zsh completion

Usage

• Add a file fbenv.toml to your home directory:

```toml [environment1] SOME_VAR = "foo"

[environment2] SOME_VAR = "bar" ```

• Manual usage:

  • fbenv ls to show the keys of all your environments
  • fbenv get environment1 to get an output like: ```bash export FBENV=environment1;

  export SOME_VAR="foo"; ```

  • Switching to a given environment can be done manually:
  • Evaluate the output of fbenv: bash eval $(fbenv get environment1)
  • printenv | grep SOME_VAR should yield "foo"
  • or via zsh completion

Known limitations

• Only TOML tables are currently supported as of now:

```toml SOME_VAR = "blubb"

[environment1] SOMEOTHERVAR = "bla" ```

will ignore the variable SOME_VAR!

ZSH completion

• Install fzf for adding extra sugar to your workflow :)
• Add this to your zsh config:

bash if [[ -x "$(command -v fbenv)" ]]; then if [[ -x "$(command -v fzf)" ]]; then eval $(fbenv print-zsh-setup --with-fzf 2>/dev/null); else eval $(fbenv print-zsh-setup 2>/dev/null); fi; fi;

• Now you are able to switch environments via switch-env command
