This software saves environment variables in a separate location, allowing users to view and reload them into the shell later. It can be used to manage environmental variables effectively.
I recently tried out envstore, a nifty tool that lets you save environment variables separately in a store, and easily reload them into the shell later on. With envstore, you can save and restore environment variables using specific commands. The usage instructions for envstore are quite straightforward, and you can get started with just a few simple steps.
Once you have installed envstore, you can use the following commands to perform different functions: show, eval, save, rm, and clear. The "show" command lets you list saved variables in a human-readable format, while the "eval" command generates shell code to set the variables. On the other hand, the "save" command is used to save a variable, while the "rm" command deletes a variable. Finally, the "clear" command clears out the stored variables.
When I started using CAAP, I had to add the current track to my window manager's status bar. However, CAAP required the MPD_HOST variable to be set, and I couldn't interfere with the environment of a running application. To solve this problem, I created envstore, which allowed me to save exported environment variables and load them again whenever I needed them.
One example use of envstore involves saving the FOO variable. If FOO doesn't exist in the environment, you can simply export it and save it using the "envstore save FOO" command. In another shell, you can then use the "envstore show FOO" command to see that the variable has been saved. To load the variable into the environment, you can use the "envstore eval -e export FOO=bar" command and then run "eval $(envstore eval -e)". This will ensure that FOO now exists in the environment.
Overall, envstore is a useful tool for people who frequently work with environment variables and want a convenient way to save them for later use. By using envstore, you can easily store and reload environment variables without having to remember specific values or configurations.
