Gexport

Manage and synchronize environment variables between interactive shell sessions for Bash and Zsh.

Cargo

cargo install gexport

Manual

Download release binary and extract to /usr/local/bin for system-wide install or ~/.local/bin for user install.

Setup

Bash

Ensure bash-preexec.sh is installed and is correctly initialized. For initialization of bash-preexec you should have something similar to this in your .bashrc:

[[ -f ~/.bash-preexec.sh ]] && source ~/.bash-preexec.sh

echo 'eval "$(gexport --init bash)"' >> ~/.bashrc

Zsh

echo 'eval "$(gexport --init zsh)"' >> ~/.zshrc
