Daniel Hahler 18201debd6 Change default values: .env => .autoenv.zsh etc
This changes the defaults:
 - AUTOENV_ENV_FILENAME: .env_auth  => .autoenv_auth
 - AUTOENV_FILE_ENTER:   .env       => .autoenv.zsh
 - AUTOENV_FILE_LEAVE:   .env_leave => .autoenv_leave.zsh

`.env` is usually used only for key-value pairs for environment
settings, e.g. with foreman.  We do not want to interfere with this.

Fixes https://github.com/Tarrasch/zsh-autoenv/issues/31.

# Autoenv for Zsh
zsh-autoenv automatically sources (known/whitelisted) `.autoenv.zsh` files,
typically used in project root directories.
It handles "enter" and leave" events, nesting, and stashing of
variables (overwriting and restoring).
## Features
- Support for enter and leave events, which can use the same file.
By default `.autoenv.zsh` is used for entering, and `.autoenv_leave.zsh` for
leaving.
- Interactively asks for confirmation / authentication before sourcing an
unknown `.autoenv.zsh` file, and remembers whitelisted files by their hashed
content.
- Test suite.
- Written in Zsh.
### Variable stashing
You can use `autostash` in your `.autoenv.zsh` files to overwrite some
variable, e.g. `$PATH`. When leaving the directory, it will be automatically
restored.
% echo 'echo ENTERED; autostash FOO=changed' > project/.autoenv.zsh
% FOO=orig
% cd project
Attempting to load unauthorized env file!
-rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 36 Mai 6 20:38 /tmp/project/.autoenv.zsh
**********************************************
echo ENTERED; autostash FOO=changed
**********************************************
Would you like to authorize it? (type 'yes') yes
ENTERED
project % echo $FOO
changed
% cd ..
% echo $FOO
orig
There is also `stash`, `unstash` and `autounstash`, in case you want to
have more control.
The varstash library has been taken from smartcd, and was optimized for Zsh.
## Writing your .autoenv.zsh file
### `autoenv_source_parent()`
zsh-autoenv will stop looking for `.autoenv.zsh` files after the first one has
been found. But you can use the function `autoenv_source_parent` to source a
parent `.autoenv.zsh` file from there.
## Installation
Clone the repository and source it from your `~/.zshrc` file:
% git clone https://github.com/Tarrasch/zsh-autoenv ~/.dotfiles/lib/zsh-autoenv
% echo 'source ~/.dotfiles/lib/zsh-autoenv/autoenv.zsh' >> ~/.zshrc
### Using [antigen](https://github.com/zsh-users/antigen)
antigen-bundle Tarrasch/zsh-autoenv
### Using [zgen](https://github.com/tarjoilija/zgen)
Add the following to your `.zshrc` where you are loading your plugins:
zgen load Tarrasch/zsh-autoenv
## Configuration
You can use the following variables to control zsh-autoenv's behavior.
Add them to your `~/.zshrc` file, before sourcing/loading zsh-autoenv.
### AUTOENV\_FILE\_ENTER
Name of the file to look for when entering directories.
Default: `.autoenv.zsh`
### AUTOENV\_FILE\_LEAVE
Name of the file to look for when leaving directories.
Requires `AUTOENV_HANDLE_LEAVE=1`.
Default: `.autoenv_leave.zsh`
### AUTOENV\_LOOK\_UPWARDS
Look for .autoenv.zsh files in parent dirs?
Default: `1`
### AUTOENV\_HANDLE\_LEAVE
Handle leave events when changing away from a subtree, where an "enter"
event was handled?
Default: `1`
### AUTOENV\_DISABLED
(Temporarily) disable zsh-autoenv. This gets looked at in the chpwd handler.
Default: 0
### `AUTOENV_DEBUG`
Enable debugging. Multiple levels are supported (max 2).
Default: `0`

## History
This started as an optimized version of the bash plugin
[autoenv](https://github.com/kennethreitz/autoenv) but for Zsh, and grew a lot
of functionality on top of it (inspired by [smartcd]).
The code was initially based on
[@joshuaclayton](https://github.com/joshuaclayton)'s dotfiles.
In September 2013 [@Tarrasch](https://github.com/Tarrasch) packaged it into a
nice [antigen]-compatible unit with integration tests. Since November 2014,
[@blueyed](https://github.com/blueyed) took over and added many many nice
features, mainly inspired by [smartcd].
