erk-sh-bootstrap

Thin bootstrap CLI that delegates to project-local erk installations.

How it's used

Shell integration (set up by erk init --shell) automatically uses this package via uvx:

• Users don't need to install erk-sh-bootstrap manually
• uvx erk-sh-bootstrap is called by the shell wrapper function
• It finds your project's .venv/bin/erk and delegates commands

Manual installation (optional)

For users who prefer a persistent global command:

uv tool install erk-sh-bootstrap

How it works

When you run erk commands, this bootstrap:

1. Looks for .venv/bin/erk or venv/bin/erk walking up from current directory
2. If found, delegates the command to the project-local erk
3. If not found, shows a helpful error message

Override

Set ERK_VENV environment variable to point to a specific venv:

ERK_VENV=/path/to/my/venv erk wt list

Per-project installation

In each project where you want to use erk:

uv add erk
uv sync
