Environment for config

Question

bazel build --config cxx20 --config opts ...

I want to default to --config cxx20 --config opts. However I cannot change .bazelrc because other users use different configs. Is there a environment variable for config like BAZEL_CXXOPTS?

export BAZEL_???="--config cxx20 --config opts"

Answer 1

The usual solution for this is to create a .bazelrc.user file and add a line try-import %workspace%/.bazelrc.user to your .bazelrc file.

Answer 2

You can place your own configuration in $HOME/.bazelrc

Answer 3

You can also consider using an alias in your shell, like

alias bb='bazel build --config cxx20 --config opts'
