AutoActivator

Autoactivator is a powerful tool designed to streamline your workflow when working with virtual environments. With Autoactivator, you can easily activate your virtual environments as soon as you enter a corresponding project directory, and stay activated for as long as you're working in that directory. Once you're done with the project and move out of the directory, Autoactivator automatically deactivates the virtual environment for you, ensuring that you don't accidentally use the wrong environment in future projects. This feature makes it easier for developers and programmers to manage multiple virtual environments without having to manually activate or deactivate them every time they switch projects.

   cd autoactivator

3. Run the installation script

   sudo chmod +x ./setup.sh
   ./setup.sh <shell1> <shell2> ...

To apply the changes, restart your terminal or source your shell configuration file:

source ~/.bashrc   # for Bash

Removing AutoActivator

To remove AutoActivator from your system, you can delete the cloned repository and remove the configuration from your shell configuration file. Follow the steps below:

# Delete the cloned repository
rm -rf ~/.autoactivator

Next, remove the configuration from your shell configuration file, it would typically be in ~/.bashrc for Bash and ~/.zshrc for Zsh. Open the file in a text editor and delete the following lines:

############################# AutoActivator #############################
source /home/user/.autoactivator/autoactivator_config.sh
#########################################################################

Optionally, you can get back your original shell configuration file by restoring it from the created backup file (~/.zshrc.pre-autoactivator or ~/.bashrc.pre-autoactivator). To do this, run the following command:

# For Zsh
mv ~/.zshrc.pre-autoactivator ~/.zshrc

# For Bash
mv ~/.bashrc.pre-autoactivator ~/.bashrc

Finally, restart your terminal or source your shell configuration file:

source ~/.bashrc   # for Bash
source ~/.zshrc    # for Zsh
