-# This file is just a nicety for developers who use direnv. When you cd under
-# the Certbot repo, Certbot's virtual environment will be automatically
-# activated and then deactivated when you cd elsewhere. Developers have to have
-# direnv set up and run `direnv allow` to allow this file to execute on their
-# system. You can find more information at https://direnv.net/.

-# direnv doesn't support modifying PS1 so we unset it to squelch the error
-# it'll otherwise print about this being done in the activate script. See
-# https://github.com/direnv/direnv/wiki/PS1. If you would like your shell
-# prompt to change like it normally does, see
