Module env

Information about the environment in terms of locations of resources.

Functions

• exe_invocation
  Return the name of the Git executable to invoke it. If it’s in the PATH, it will always be a short name.
• home_dir
  Tries to obtain the home directory from HOME on all platforms, but falls back to home::home_dir() for more complex ways of obtaining a home directory, particularly useful on Windows.
• installation_config
  Return the location at which installation specific git configuration file can be found, or None if the binary could not be executed or its results could not be parsed.
• installation_config_prefix
  Return the location at which git installation specific configuration files are located, or None if the binary could not be executed or its results could not be parsed.
• system_prefix
  Returns the platform dependent system prefix or None if it cannot be found (right now only on windows).
• var
  Returns the contents of an environment variable of name with some special handling for certain environment variables (like HOME) for platform compatibility.
• xdg_config
  Returns the fully qualified path in the xdg-home directory (or equivalent in the home dir) to file, accessing env_var(<name>) to learn where these bases are.
