flox deactivate

NAME

flox-deactivate - deactivate an environment

SYNOPSIS

flox [<general-options>] deactivate

DESCRIPTION

Deactivates an active Flox environment in the current shell, reversing the changes made by flox-activate(1).

flox deactivate deactivates the innermost (most recently activated) environment. When multiple environments are layered, running flox deactivate repeatedly deactivates them one at a time, innermost first.

Deactivation performs the following steps:

Runs the profile.deactivate.${shell} script from the environment's manifest, if defined, allowing the environment to undo modifications it made during activation.
Restores environment variables and shell state to their pre-activation values. Only variables that activation set are reverted; variables that activation did not touch are left alone.
Reverts shell customizations: the prompt is restored from its saved value (or recomputed from the remaining active environments if any remain), command hashing is re-enabled, and any zsh FPATH entries, completion caches, and precmd hooks installed by activation are removed.
Detaches the current shell from the activation. When the last shell detaches, services started by the activation are stopped.

Interactive subshells

Inside a subshell created by an interactive flox activate, flox deactivate is equivalent to exit: it exits the subshell and returns to the parent shell, where any previously active environments are restored automatically.

OPTIONS

General Options

-h, --help Prints help information.

The following options can be passed when running any flox subcommand but must be specified before the subcommand.

-v, --verbose Increase logging verbosity. Invoke multiple times for increasing detail.

-q, --quiet Silence logs except for errors.

EXAMPLES

Deactivate the innermost active environment:

$ flox deactivate

Exit a flox activate subshell (equivalent to running exit):

flox [myenv] $ flox deactivate
$
