# Description For years, Nushell has used `let-env` to set a single environment variable. As our work on scoping continued, we refined what it meant for a variable to be in scope using `let` but never updated how `let-env` would work. Instead, `let-env` confusingly created mutations to the command's copy of `$env`. So, to help fix the mental model and point people to the right way of thinking about what changing the environment means, this PR removes `let-env` to encourage people to think of it as updating the command's environment variable via mutation. Before: ``` let-env FOO = "BAR" ``` Now: ``` $env.FOO = "BAR" ``` It's also a good reminder that the environment owned by the command is in the `$env` variable rather than global like it is in other shells. # User-Facing Changes BREAKING CHANGE BREAKING CHANGE This completely removes `let-env FOO = "BAR"` so that we can focus on `$env.FOO = "BAR"`. # Tests + Formatting <!-- Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes.

@ajeetdsouza would it be possible to make a release with this fix applied ? |

Just saw that this was officially removed in 0.83.1. I've been swamped with work, but I'll try to cut a release this weekend. |

Greetings!
The Nushell team is planning to move away from
let-env FOO = ...to the more straightforward (and more honest)$env.FOO = ....This PR should update zoxide to use the supported environment update syntax.
