#for Bash #
#Since Bash is typically the default shell you can open up this file in your home directory:
vim ~/.bash_profile
# And add your variable to this file:
export ENV_VAR=12345
# You can do this without even having to edit this file if you like, using the following one-liner:
echo 'export ENV_VAR=12345' >> ~/.bash_profile
# And then confirm like so:


#After doing the above, if you open a new terminal you should see that environment variable 
#has been set:
echo $ENV_VAR
12345

#for Zsh #
# If you find that you're using an alternative shell such as zsh, that uses a different 
# set of configuration files maintained within your home directory, ~. Luckily the syntax 
# of the changes is basically the same, just different files. 
#So you can add the above example to this file instead:
echo 'export ENV_VAR=12345' >> ~/.zshenv
#And then when you launch a zsh:
echo $ENV_VAR
12345

# !forget.to.like();
