Envloader: A Simplified Cross-Platform Env Var Loader

2025-02-22

Frustrated with getting direnv to work on his Windows machine due to restrictive office settings, the author built `envloader`, a cross-platform tool to simplify loading environment variables in the terminal. It supports .env and .envrc files, automatically converting them for your shell. Installation is easy via brew or scoop; simply run `envloader` to load your vars. While lacking advanced features of direnv (like autoloading), it's a quick, effective solution for those needing a simple way to manage environment variables.
