You may find prm useful for this purpose, it lets you create projects with start/stop scripts that get executed when you do `prm start project` or `prm stop project`. I use it to quickly switch to the right directories, open editors, services, etc. needed by a project.

`direnv` will automatically activate and deactivate a project-specific shell env for you when you change directories.

I like to put scripts for the project in a `bin/` directory then use direnv to put the project's `bin/` on PATH.

I've leaned more and more towards mirroring the *nix directory structure in my projects. `etc/` and `bin/` are two top-level folders in a lot of my projects at work.
