6 Command Line Tools for Productive Programmers
If you live in the terminal, and you want to use your terminal as an IDE, then it's helpful to have your terminal change based on the current directory. There are many ways to do this. DirEnv loads and unloads .env files as you enter directories. smartcd is similar. It lets you run a shell script whenever you change to a certain path -- you can start and stop services, change the prompt, or anything else you want.
