This is one of those info that I wouldn't have ever found out if not for this video.

Actually I never knew this. Thanks for the good video.

I knew that cd is a shell builtin but thanks to you, now I know the reasoning behind it being a shell builtin; not a binary

[会供価]

Why is your keyboard like that and is there an advantage compared to normal ones?

[hoefkensj]

also a "weird" thing is that "[" ('/bin/[') is an executable but ']' isnt :)

Whoops. git bash alias going off


$ type cd
cd is a function
cd ()
{
builtin cd $1;
if [[ -n "$VIRTUAL_ENV" ]]; then
echo "deactivate $VIRTUAL_ENV";
deactivate;
fi;
if [[ -d ./.venv ]]; then
. ./venv/Scripts/activate;
echo "activate $VIRTUAL_ENV";
else
if [[ -d ./venv ]]; then
. venv/Scripts/activate;
fi;
fi
}
