Environment Variables

You can run Doing with environment variables to affect its behavior. These can be defined in the command, or you can export them globally in your shell setup.

To apply an environment variable for one run only:

$ DOING_CONFIG=~/test.doingrc doing now Testing with a different config

To make the change permanent, add the variable to your shell config. For example, for Bash you would add export DOING_CONFIG="~/test.doingrc" to ~/.bash_profile.

You can also alias the one-run only format to have different commands with different behavior.

alias testdoing="DOING_CONFIG=~/test.doingrc doing"

The available variables:

variable	function
DOING_CONFIG	Change the base config file (default ~/.doingrc)
DOING_DEBUG/_VERBOSE	Turn on debug logging
DOING_PLUGIN_DEBUG	Provide additional logging during plugin loading
DOING_QUIET	Silence all output messages except for errors
DOING_LOG_LEVEL	Set the log level from 0 (debug) to 3 (error)
DOING_EDITOR	Same as setting editor: in config
