Shadowenv performs a set of manipulations to the process environment

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.

The syntax for the .shadowenv.d/*.lisp files is Shadowlisp, a minimal Scheme-like language. Unlike other tools like direnv, this has the interesting property of allowing us to do things like simulate chruby reset upon entry into a directory without the user having chruby installed (and undo these changes to the environment when cd’ing back out):

This is free and open source software.
