Possible to automatically allow?

[introom]

After editting .envrc, I have to manually direnv allow.

While automatically allowing envrc might expose a security hole, I wonder if it is possible to automatically allow envrc ?

direnv edit does something like that. First, you have to make sure that the EDITOR environment variable is set. Eg: export EDITOR=vim. Set that in your ~/.profile or other startup location. Then instead of using vim .envrc, use direnv edit. Once the editor exits, and IFF the file mtime has changed, it assumes that you trust the content and will automatically allow it.

It would be more preferable to have a variable to explicitly allow that behavior.

You may add the path to the direnv.toml config, see man direnv.toml

Thanks for that.
