    I found myself doing this as well and decided to write a simple tool to do it "automatically" for me.

    You still can't use it with less, but at least it allows you to mark "segments" of the log without switching to that window and mashing enter.

    In general it is very nice. A common method is you create a `default.nix` file in the project you are working on and use tools that manage the deps for you. For example:

    Rust+Cargo: https://gitlab.com/kevincox/watchlog/-/blob/22c877065f763b3d...

    Node+NPM: https://gitlab.com/kevincox/kevincox-web-compiler/-/blob/9fa...

    My only Ruby project is private but I just rolled my own with:

    export "GEM_HOME=$out"
