Not tested on a device yet. What that means
direnv in Breadstick
Breadstick runs Debian's own direnv package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so direnv should behave as it does on a Linux PC. It is a command line program rather than an app with a window of its own: you run it by typing its command in Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop, and it needs no Desktop or Floating session running.
Commands in the package
direnv
Type it in Breadstick's Terminal to start the program.
Prompts and shell helpers load in the shell inside Breadstick's Terminal, as on any Linux system. A prompt that draws icons needs a terminal font that has them. More in the docs: The Terminal.
About direnv
From Debian's package description
direnv is an environment variable manager for your shell. It knows how to hook into bash, zsh and fish shell to load or unload environment variables depending on your current directory. This allows one to have project-specific environment variables and not clutter the "~/.profile" file.
Before each prompt it checks for the existence of an ".envrc" file in the current and parent directories. If the file exists, it is loaded into a bash sub-shell and all exported variables are then captured by direnv and then made available to your shell.
Because direnv is compiled into a single static executable it is fast enough to be unnoticeable on each prompt. It is also language agnostic and can be used to build solutions similar to rbenv, pyenv, phpenv, ...
