Is it possible to auto deactivate when `cd` out of the directory?

At the moment it's not part of the functionality. But it should be relatively easy to add. Relevant code is here:

• bash/zsh: https://github.com/GetStream/vg/blob/master/data/sh#L128-L141
• fish: https://github.com/GetStream/vg/blob/master/data/fish#L178-L196

Basically you could add if no .virtualgo file is found and a workspace is active, run vg deactivate. One important thing though is probably to keep tracked if the current workspace was auto activated or not. Because if it was activated manually you wouldn't want to deactivate it when moving somewhere else.

Current solution working for me in ZSH:

__vg_auto_deactivate() {
  local activation_root
  activation_root=$PWD

  if [ "$VIRTUALGO" = "" ]; then
    return
  fi

  while [ -s "$activation_root" ]; do
    if [ -f "$activation_root/.virtualgo" ]; then
      return
    fi
    # this strips the last path component from the path.
    activation_root=$(echo "$activation_root" | sed 's|/[^/]*$||')
  done

  vg deactivate
}

chpwd_functions=(${chpwd_functions[@]} "__vg_auto_deactivate")

I'm more comfortable with plugins like direnv for this purpose. I've even created another one envrc-rs.

This is not an issue for me anymore. Closing.
