# NVEXPO - Non-Volatile EXPOrt
|
||||
|
||||
nxexpo it's a simple tool to define environment variables on-the-fly and persisting them between shell sessions.
|
||||
|
||||
## Dependencies
|
||||
- Python 3.8
|
||||
|
||||
### Dependencies to build
|
||||
- [Poetry](https://python-poetry.org/)
|
||||
|
||||
### Dependencies to develop
|
||||
- [PoeThePoet](https://poethepoet.natn.io/)
|
||||
- [Ruff](https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/)
|
||||
- [MyPy](https://www.mypy-lang.org/)
|
||||
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
To install from the source follow the commands:
|
||||
```Bash
|
||||
$ poetry build
|
||||
$ pip install dist/nvexpo*.whl
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
And add the follow line to your `.bashrc` file:
|
||||
```Bash
|
||||
eval(nvexpo init bash)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Basic usage
|
||||
The usage it's too simple. If you want to create a new env var into the current bash session use the command:
|
||||
```Bash
|
||||
$ nx weird_variable=101
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then, you can close the current terminal or terminate the bash session, and when you start a new one, your env vars will still be there :sparkles:.
|
||||
```Bash
|
||||
$ echo $weird_variable
|
||||
101
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Unset variables
|
||||
To unset variables you need to use flag `--unset`:
|
||||
```Bash
|
||||
$ nx var1="hello world"
|
||||
$ echo $var1
|
||||
hello world
|
||||
$ nx --unset var1
|
||||
$ echo $var1
|
||||
|
||||
$ works!!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Why?
|
||||
The main motivation for creating this tool was that in my work I like to have the Git branch I'm working on in `$branch`, but it's annoying to have to create it every time I restart or close the terminal I was working on.
|
||||
I could add it to `.bashrc` directly, but I would have to do it every time I have to work on a new branch and it wasn't comfortable.
|
||||
So now instead of having to type:
|
||||
```Bash
|
||||
branch="super_useful_change"
|
||||
```
|
||||
I have to write:
|
||||
```Bash
|
||||
nx branch="super_useful_change"
|
||||
```
|
||||
and that's it, no matter how many times I restart, my variable will be there.
