rest.nvim VS direnv

I suppose you are aware of https://github.com/rest-nvim/rest.nvim (this is what I use, though it has some rough edges). How is your plugin different?

Not sure but there's this: rest.nvim.

Examples are in the tests folder: https://github.com/rest-nvim/rest.nvim/blob/main/tests/post_create_user.http

I've been looking at (neo)vim plugins that do the trick, like coc-restclient, which like most coc software, it's written in js, but since I moved to coq for neovim, I tried out rest.nvim, written in lua like most plugins I use. It's OK, but I've been meaning to look for a standalone rest tui, instead of an editor plugin, maybe one that uses your $EDITOR in embedded terminal windows. I found freus, written in python, that hasn't had any commits made since 2019. Is there any REST TUI that I don't know about? Preferably currently maintained and written in a compiled language

Compared to Postman or Insomnia, I feel like I miss environmental variables (common keys or headers). This vim-rest-plugin seems to have the option of setting up variables too (I didn't try it though).

Hi there, it's been a while since my last post here and this time I'm looking for maintainers or contributors for rest.nvim.

Hello everyone. I've discover awesome rest plugin for neovim: https://github.com/NTBBloodbath/rest.nvim

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.
