Description

The idea:

  1. Get prev_env = $(env) before running the sh-command
  2. Run sh-command. Example ! export QWE=123.
  3. Add saving env at the end of command: ! export QWE=123 ; env > /tmp/post_env.
  4. By comparing prev_env and post_env update the environment in the current session i.e. $QWE='123'

Research direction
Implement the feature by capturing the current environment before running the command, then appending a command to output environment after execution, and finally parsing the differences to update the session environment.
