-## shell
-
-The shell command spawns a shell within the project's virtual environment.
-
-By default, the current active shell is detected and used. Failing that,
-the shell defined via the environment variable `SHELL` (on *nix) or
-`COMSPEC` (on Windows) is used.
-
-If a virtual environment does not exist, it will be created.
-
-```bash
-poetry shell
-```
-
-Note that this command starts a new shell and activates the virtual environment.
-
-As such, `exit` should be used to properly exit the shell and the virtual environment instead of `deactivate`.
-
-{{% note %}}
-Poetry internally uses the [Shellingham](https://github.com/sarugaku/shellingham) project to detect current
-active shell.

+## Activating the environment
+
+`poetry env activate` command prints the activate command to the console. This way you won't leave the current shell.
+You can then feed the output to `eval` to activate the environment. This way is the closest to manually activating the environment.
