Years ago I created a simple utility to help me manage my environment variables - I wanted a quick way to view what was was my current configuration. What python virtual env am I using or what AWS profile is currently active?
This replaces env | grep FOO and echo $PATH completely for me since it tells me what profile is active.

Years later I added the possibility to modify the environment as well so now I can simply do ev prod and then ev dev to quickly switch between configurations. ev then tells me what profile is active and shows me all the important ones (filters out uninteresting variables such as $TMP or $LC_CTYPE).
Please try it out and see if can simplify your workflow!
