I built a environment reloader for Windows Shells

3•byjonas•9h ago
Hello Guys!

So I built an environment/path reloader for Windows. I also compiled the project for Linux and macOS (even though there is no real purpose in using that tool on those). I wanted to share this little tool I made here on hacker news because I think some people could actually benefit from it or some people could be interested in checking the code? I don't know, anyway here I am sharing the tool XD.

So why did I build it? Well I found myself very annoyed by the fact I had to restart my vsc and shells every single time I installed a new cli tool. I knew there was the "source ~./bashrc" command on linux and I was looking on google for something similar for windows. I couldn't find a tool at that time. I DO KNOW NOW that there is this tool called "refreshenv" from chocolatey but I made the project now so I just released it anyway, don't judge me for that please :<

So yeah I'd be happy to hear what you guys are thinking? Have a nice day :D

And I know my grammar is probably bad... sorry for that.
