Environment Variables
On this page
For easier scripting, you can specify configuration settings by using environment variables.
Precedence
When you run a command, any settings that you specified with environment variables take precedence over the profile stored in the configuration file.
When you run a command using the
--projectIdoption, the command line option takes precedence over both the environment variable and the profile stored in the configuration file.
