It would probably be simple to add support to https://github.com/Fapiko/intellij-better-direnv

I haven't been using it for Clojure projects, but works great in my other ones

I’m not sure if this is the same thing, but Cursive does support https://github.com/Ashald/EnvFile

thank you, the https://github.com/Ashald/EnvFile work I added a comment here https://github.com/cursive-ide/cursive/issues/2742

Better direnv didn’t work for me for Cursive.

better direnv needs every kind of run configuration supported by it and Cursive is not yet supported. i use direnv to have a nix-shell environment for our Clojure projects, but what IntelliJ and the REPLs started from it, should be concerned about is only a few things, so in practice, I just setup the following manually: 1. clojure CLI path (`which clojure`) 2. JDK path (`which java`) 3. node & npm or yarn (`which node`)
