hello friends,

I am looking for a way to do what I described in the title. When running command command, I dont want to have to type SOME_ENV_VAR=value command every time, especially if there are multiple.

I am sure youre immediately thinking aliases. My issue with aliases is that if I do this for several programs, my .bashrc will get large and messy quickly. I would prefer a way to separate those by program or application, rather than put them all in one file.

Is there a clean way to do this?

    You could break it out into other files if you really got that much going on. But if you really have hundreds or more env vars, maybe you should re-think using env vars at all.

    Hard to give a rec without more detail, so I don’t really get it.
