Very cool project -- definitely recommend anyone interested in desk checks this out.<p>From what I can tell, though, desk&#x27;s design allows for slightly different uses: namely (because desk consolidates configuration into one directory), desk configuration is more easily shareable across computers. In order to recreate your direnv setup on another machine, you&#x27;d have to go and symlink all your direnv files manually (unless they&#x27;re somehow embedded in the repos or folders you&#x27;re working in).<p>Direnv doesn&#x27;t (AFAICT) attempt to surface documentation for the shell files it executes, whereas a lot of desk&#x27;s value is in displaying a quick reference for common tasks within a workspace.
