kubeswitch VS direnv

switched from kubectx to kubeswitch

You can just install kubeswitch , it's easy to use and it's better than kubectx and kubie

kubeswitch

https://github.com/danielfoehrKn/kubeswitch does this and more. It’s pretty good. I switched to it from kubectx/kubens

I’ve been very happily using kubeswitch for this as well.

If you are looking for an alternative to kubectx and kubens, that has terminal window isolation, a context history and works well for multi-cloud, I invite you to check out switch. No need for fzf binary as fuzzy search is integrated.

Kubeswitch got some exciting new features and contributions. I am sharing this because I think this tool can be a great productivity booster for many of you. Looking for contributions to eventually support all common Cloud Providers (thanks Meroje for contributing EKS support!).

You can check out https://github.com/danielfoehrKn/kubeswitch. Also comes with isolated terminal sessions + other advanced features such as history support and integration with GKE, AKS, Gardener, Vault & soon more.

I think direnv already does a good job in this space, and it's already available in your package manager.

I switched from asdf to mise after a comment on lobste.rs[1] suggested I do so a few months ago, and I have been very happy with it.

It sands off some of asdf's sharp UI edges and provides a somewhat larger but still reasonable feature set; I've also replaced most of my direnv[2] usage with it.

The mise -> asdf comparison page is useful[3]

I also made the export diff configurable, motivated by this post: https://github.com/direnv/direnv/pull/1233

Nice.

For years I've been using [direnv](https://direnv.net/) for this, setting environment variables which git picks up. This looks like a more feature complete equivalent, although to be honest I only really need switching of committer email and the SSH key used.

Direnv, for the uninitiated, loads and unloads environment variables when directories are entered and exited. Under every project folder there is a `$PROJ_DIR/.envrc` which contains:

buffer-env: A pure-Elisp version of the direnv utility. Useful to make Emacs aware of Python virtualenvs (which, judging by the questions posted here, is unfortunately still a complication for a lot of people). Similar to (and inspired by) envrc, but doesn't require the direnv program.

You can look at direnv to see this in action as they wrote shell hooks that get loaded into the shell profile and are executed on every prompt. https://direnv.net/

Yes, most Nix users employ https://direnv.net or the equivalent for your IDE of choice. Emacs for instance has https://github.com/purcell/envrc which set per-buffer variables.
