+** Direnv
+
+   I use [[https://direnv.net][direnv]] in combination with [[https://nixos.org][nix]] to allow for programs to only be
+   available in certain directories. The [[https://github.com/wbolster/emacs-direnv][emacs-direnv]] makes Emacs play nice
+   with direnv, so that it for instance can detect a language server that is
+   only available within some project. The =direnv-always-show-summary= is set
+   to =nil= to avoid having long messages pop up in the messages buffer
+   whenever I enter a directory that interacts with direnv.
