Shell

Profile setup

To use dirp, you need to hook in your shell profile. This is also the only time users should ever directly reference the dirp binary.

Here are usage patterns for different shells:

• Traditional shells: eval "$(dirp hook)"
  • Compatible: ✅ Bash, BusyBox
  • Not-Compat: ❌ Dash
  • Unk-Compat: ❓ ZSH
• Fish shell: dirp hook fish | source
  • Compatible: ✅ fish >= 3.1.2
• Plan 9 shells: eval `{dirp hook rc}
  • Compatible: ✅ rc
  • Not-Compat: ❌ es

Implementation details

In some pre-configured shells, you might find an existing dir alias to ls as a convenience for DOS users. The hook will detect such entries and replace them with the entrypoints for dirp instead.
