A simple bash program to spawn subshells for python venvs
Inspired by the poetry shell and aws-sso exec commands, this command invokes a subshell and automatically sources .venv/bin/activate in the current directory (or searches for a valid venv up the directory tree, for the dozens of us who like using git worktree). Also enables creating venvs in one command as well.
TLDR: Replace $ python -m venv .venv; source .venv/bin/activate with $ envy. No more fumbling with stupid typos, ain't got time to hit all those keys! I just want a shell that's ready to go!
NOTE: This only supports bash at the moment.
Use your preferred way of installing an executable to your PATH. I suggest using curl:
$ mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
$ [[ ":$PATH:" != *":~/.local/bin:"* ]] && PATH="~/.local/bin:${PATH}"
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BlakeJC94/envy/main/envy --output ~/.local/bin/envy
$ chmod a+x ~/.local/bin/envyDocumentation can be viewed with $ envy --help:
envy
Subshell spawner for Python
This utility searches the current directory for a virtual environment
in the current directory, travels up the directory tree (up to the
users home directory) until a virtual env is found, then spawns a
subshell that sources '.bashrc' and the virtual environment (and sets
a value for 'ENVY').
By default, searches for a virtual environment called '.venv', can be
specified in the first argument.
If a virtual environment is not found, a new virtual environment is
created at the current directory and a subshell sourcing the new venv
is invoked.
Different venvs can be targeted/created via first positional arg (e.g.
look for '.venv-foo' by using 'envy foo').
USAGE:
envy [OPTIONS] [NAME]
ARGS:
NAME Virtual env suffix to search/create (default: '')
OPTIONS:
-h, --help Show documentation
-n, --new Skip search and create/activate new virtual env
- zsh and fish support?
