Environment variables

2 min read

Learn how to work with CODER_* environment variables inside workspaces.

Coder injects a standard set of environment variables that allow you to access contextual information about your workspace.

To obtain a list of environment variables and their values, launch the Terminal via the Coder Dashboard and run:

env | grep CODER_
