Windows environment variables ============================= A collection of simple programs to manage environment variables on Windows, created mainly to: * learn a bit of Haskell, * make it easier to add paths to the `PATH` variable, automatically setup `_NT_SYMBOL_PATH`, etc. Building -------- Using [stack]: stack build [stack]: http://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/README/ Installation ------------ stack install Usage ----- The complete list of utilities is given below. * [list_path](#list_path) — List directories in your `PATH`. * [add_path](#add_path) — Add directories to your `PATH`. * [remove_path](#remove_path) — Remove directories from your `PATH`. * [set_env](#set_env) — Set environment variable. * [unset_env](#unset_env) — Unset environment variable. Pass the `--help` flag to a utility to examine its detailed usage information. Some examples are given below. ### list_path List directories in your `PATH` variable: ``` > list_path - C:\Program Files\Haskell\bin + C:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\8.0.1\lib\extralibs\bin + C:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\8.0.1\bin + C:\Users\Egor\AppData\Roaming\local\bin - C:\Users\Egor\AppData\Roaming\cabal\bin ... ``` Lines starting with `+` denote existing directories. Conversly, lines starting with `-` denote missing directories. ### add_path Add "C:\test" to current user's `PATH`: ``` > add_path C:\test Saving variable 'PATH' to 'HKCU\Environment'... Old value: C:\Users\Egor\AppData\Roaming\local\bin;C:\Users\Egor\AppData\Roaming\cabal\bin New value: C:\Users\Egor\AppData\Roaming\local\bin;C:\Users\Egor\AppData\Roaming\cabal\bin;C:\test Continue? (y/n) y > ``` ### remove_path Remove "C:\test" from both current user's and global `PATH`s, skipping the confirmation prompt: ``` > remove_path --global -y C:\test ``` ### set_env Assign `bar` to the variable `foo` for all users: ``` > set_env -g foo bar Saving variable 'foo' to 'HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment'... Value: bar Continue? (y/n) y > ``` ### unset_env Unset the variable `foo` for current user, skipping the confirmation prompt: ``` > unset_env --yes foo ``` License ------- This project, including all of the files and their contents, is licensed under the terms of the MIT License.
