Environment Variables
A list of available environment variables for the Anka CLI
By default, all anka config options are available as Environment Variables by simply converting their name to uppercase and prefixing it with ANKA_. So, default_user becomes ANKA_DEFAULT_USER and the ENV takes precedence.
Outside of the config environment variables, there are a few others you might find useful:
