# Set Environment Variables When Creating Session
|
|
|
|
In [Set Session-Specific Environment
|
|
Variables](set-session-specific-environment-variables.md), I showed how env
|
|
vars that are scoped to a tmux session can be set in an existing session.
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to set any number of environment variables when creating a
|
|
session. This is particularly handy if you are scripting the setup of various
|
|
tmux environments.
|
|
|
|
A base command to start a tmux session might look like this:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ tmux new -s my-project
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To set environment variables on that session, use one or more `-e` flags
|
|
followed by the name and value.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ tmux new -s my-project -e EDITOR=code -e PG_VERSION=13.4
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See `man tmux` for more details.
