…r variables I spent some time looking how to override a variable in a bakefile. My assumption was that there would be a CLI option to do that and was confused when I couldn't find it. This adds a reference to point someone in the correct direction of using environment variables which is present in the bake file reference but isn't in the CLI documentation.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
We typically only include an anchor if the section corresponds to a flag/option on the command. That isn't the case here so we can remove this.

I spent some time looking how to override a variable in a bakefile. My
assumption was that there would be a CLI option to do that and was
confused when I couldn't find it. This adds a reference to point someone
in the correct direction of using environment variables which is present
in the bake file reference but isn't in the CLI documentation.
