In order to simplify the usage of ilo, consider using autoenv-like tooling. These tools all allow you to just enter a directory and will automatically call ilo for you like this:

[you@hostname ~]$ cd path/to/your/project
[root@container project-dir]#

As soon as you enter the directory of your project, these tools will call ilo which in turn will open your build environment for you.

autoenv

In order to use autoenv, first install it and then place a .env file in the root of your project which contains ilo and its arguments as its contents.

[you@hostname project-dir]$ cat .env
ilo @build-env

direnv

In order to use direnv, first install it and then place a .envrc file in the root of your project which contains ilo and its arguments as its contents.

[you@hostname project-dir]$ cat .envrc
ilo @build-env

envrc-rs

In order to use envrc-rs, first install it and then place a .envrc file in the root of your project which contains ilo and its arguments as its contents.

[you@hostname project-dir]$ cat .envrc
ilo @build-env

smartcd

In order to use smartcd, first install it, enter the root directory of your project and then call smartcd edit enter which will open an editor to write a script to execute whenever you enter your project directory. Use something like ilo @build-env as the script.

[you@hostname project-dir]$ cat ~/.smartcd/scripts/path/to/project-dir/bash_enter
ilo @build-env

zsh-autoenv

In order to use zsh-autoenv, first install it and then place a .autoenv.zsh file in the root of your project which contains ilo and its arguments as its contents.

[you@hostname project-dir]$ cat .autoenv.zsh
ilo @build-env

tmuxp

In order to use tmuxp, first install it and then create a new configuration in ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/tmuxp:

[you@hostname project-dir]$ cat ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/tmuxp/your-project.yml
session_name: your-project
windows:
- window_name: dev window

    root: ~/path/to/your/project
    panes:
      - ilo @build-env

tmuxifier

In order to use tmuxifier, first install it and then create a new configuration in $TMUXIFIER_LAYOUT_PATH:

[you@hostname project-dir]$ cat $TMUXIFIER_LAYOUT_PATH/your-project.sh
window_root "~/path/to/your/project"
new_window "Your Project"
split_v 20
run_cmd "ilo @build-env"
split_h 60

  - your_project:
      panes:
        - ilo @build-env

dmux

In order to use dmux, first install it and then create your configuration in ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/dmux/dmux.conf.{file_type}:

[you@hostname project-dir]$ cat ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/dmux/dmux.conf.toml
[your-project]
number_of_panes = 2
session_name = "Your Project"
commands = ["ilo @build-env"]

airmux
