how to start an interactive shell with special setup
I want to start an interactive zsh (on cygwin) with project specific set-up:
- source
/etc/profile - source
~/.profile - source
$PROJECT_HOME/Setup.zsh - become interactive
I got as far a step 3 but then the shell just terminates.
I have done this kind of thing before but I forgot how I did it. I tried to google for it but could not find anything. Probalby a case of having the wrong search terms.
Adding $PROJECT_HOME/Setup.zsh to ~/.profile is of course no solution as the idea is to have multiple start-up icons on the windows desktop to start shells for one of many project.
Make your shortcuts look like:
env PROJECT_HOME=~/projects/this zsh
env PROJECT_HOME=~/projects/that zsh
Sourcing $PROJECT_HOME/Setup.zsh will work fine now.
