[[CLI Variables]]
To assign a value to an environment variable you simply type the variable name, '=', then the value. For example,
 
FOO=Rob
 
BAR=Love
 
 
 
To get the value of the variable (i.e. dereference) you place a '$' before the variable name.
 
 
 
#echo $FOO
 
#Rob
 
#echo $BAR
 
#Love
 
 
 
=== Commands ===
 
env  = Shows you the environment variables that are currently defined.
 
echo = Displays a line of text.
 
 
 
=== Quiz ===
 
# What is the value of the "HOME" environment variable?
 
# How would you create an environment variable named GEEK that's contents are "FREE GEEK is the best!"?
