quickenv is an unobtrusive environment manager

quickenv is a replacement for direnv. It works with existing .envrcs, and as such is a drop-in replacement, but how you interact with quickenv and how it loads environment variables is fundamentally different.

• quickenv does not hook into your shell. It only requires an addition to your PATH.
• quickenv does not load .envrc when changing directories. Instead you need to initialize quickenv per-project using quickenv reload, and rerun that command everytime the .envrc changes.
• quickenv does not even load environment variables into your shell. Instead it creates shim binaries that dispatch to the right executable.

quickenv is heavily inspired by volta which achieves version management for nodejs by also providing “shim” binaries for the most common commands (yarn, npm, node).

This is free and open source software.
