Why this should be merged
Adds a
.envrc
file for use with direnv enables automatic configuration of paths and environment variables to simplify usage of test tooling. For example,ginkgo
andtmpnetctl
can be invoked directly and without having to specify the--avalanchego-path
or--plugin-dir
flags. It also avoids the use of global paths for those of us that develop concurrently on multiple local worktrees.How this works
