Enman

A minimalistic environment manager for Git Worktree workflows.

Goal

Provide a lightweight way to spin up and manage per-worktree shell environments so each branch can have isolated tooling, variables, and startup behavior without heavy setup.

What this project aims to do

• Keep worktree setup simple and fast.
• Reduce context switching between branches.
• Standardize environment bootstrapping for local development.
• Stay script-first and easy to customize.

Install

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ibedwi/enman/main/install.sh | bash

Then reload your shell:

source ~/.zshrc   # or source ~/.bashrc

This clones enman to ~/.enman/bin/ and adds an enman alias to your shell config.

Quick Start

1. Prepare your project env templates under:

~/.enman/projects/<project-name>/...

All project data is stored in ~/.enman/ in your home directory. You can override this by setting the ENMAN_HOME environment variable.

2. Copy env files into a target worktree directory:

enman setup <project-name> <target-directory>
# example
enman setup my-cool-project /path/to/worktree

The command copies all .env files from ~/.enman/projects/<project-name> to <target-directory>, preserving directory structure.

CLI Commands

• enman setup <project-name> <target-directory>
• enman scan <project-name> [directory]
• enman projects <action> [arguments]
• enman update
