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 can add a new executable in your ~/.local/bin directory like command_custom that would start SOME_ENV_VAR=value command. Like if you use bash:
#!/usr/bin/bash
SOME_ENV_VAR=value command
Do not forget to chmod +x the file to make it executable.
This way you will have additional command for your user only (no sudo require to create/update those), for system-wise command put it in /usr/local/bin.
