I started messing around with Devbox a few weeks ago and I like it as a faster alternative to toolbox/distrobox containers. I've been adding my environment variables directly into the devbox.json file as normal EXPORT statements. From the article tho, I couldn't grasp what Direnv adds to this. Same Devbox shell, different environment variables per directory?

With direnv you can activate your shell automatically by changing your directory. This is pretty useful if you have multiple projects using devbox, or a monorepo type setup with a few devbox.json files in your subfolders
