SHADOWENV(1)

🌸 NAME 🌸

shadowenv(1) — from the General Commands Manual, bestie — is literally here to manipulate environment variables as you change directories. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

shadowenv [-h|-V] subcommand

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so shadowenv provides a way to perform a set of manipulations to the process environment upon entering a directory in a shell. These manipulations are reversed when leaving the directory, and there is some limited ability to make the manipulations dynamic. periodt. 💖

👑 SUBCOMMANDS 👑

diff [-hnv]

Display a diff of changed environment variables.

• -n, --no-color — Do not use color to highlight the diff.
• -v, --verbose — Show all environment variables as context to the diff.

exec [--dir <dir>] <child-argv0|-- child-argv...>

Execute a command after loading the environment from the current directory.

• --dir <dir> — Instead of searching from the current directory for a .shadowenv.d, search from this one.
• child-argv0 — If the command doesn't need arguments, it can be passed directly as the last argument.
• child-argv... — If the command requires arguments, the command and all arguments must be passed after a --.

hook [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]

Runs the shell hook. You shouldn't need to run this manually; instead, source the output of shadowenv init to create the shell hooks that will use this command. 🫶

• --fish — Format variable assignments for fish shell.
• --porcelain — Format variable assignments for machine parsing.
• --silent — Suppress error printing.
• --shellpid pid — Rather than looking up the PPID, use this as the shell's pid.

• fish — Prints a script which can be eval'd by fish to set up shadowenv.

okay that's the whole SHADOWENV(1) page from the General Commands Manual, bestie — the source footer here only gives us that manual-name line, with no version/date line to report, so this is your cute sparkly sign-off instead: stay iconic, stay trusted, and may your env vars always slay 💖✨🦋💅
