Add Homebrew's shell environment to xonsh on Linux

Add Homebrew's shell environment to xonsh shell on Linux
(alternative to shellenv)

If you like the idea, ask Homebrew to implement it natively as my fix was rejected because “xonsh is far too niche”

Introduction

Homebrew has a shellenv command to add Homebrew environment to your shell: it adds a few environment variables (HOMEBREW_ PREFIX/CELLAR/REPOSITORY) and updates a few paths (MAN/INFO/ PATH). Unfortunately it doesn't support xonsh shell, and the devs are not yet willing to fix it, requiring adding the environment variables manually...

Or using this xontrib, which automatically translates the default bash output of shellenv into xonsh

Installation

To install use pip:

xpip install xontrib-linuxbrew
# or: xpip install -U git+https://github.com/eugenesvk/xontrib-linuxbrew

Usage

Add this to your xonsh shell profile script at ~/.xonshrc or ~/.config/rc.xsh

xontrib load linuxbrew

Set level of verbosity via $XONTRIB_LINUXBREW_LOGLEVEL to 0–3:

• 0 print nothing (fail silently)
• 1 (default) print errors (e.g. can't find brew at default locations)
• 2 print warnings (e.g parsing errors)
• 3 print more verbose messages

Known issues

• Only default installation paths (~/.linuxbrew and /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew) are supported
