To make the system more robust in response to system and directory changes, you can use variables in your commands and in other variables. For example, if the path to your version control system's executable changes, and you use a variable instead of a hard-coded path in your commands, you only need to edit that path in one place. All commands using the variable will then use the updated path.
Each profile has a default set of variables that you can edit. You can also create your own variables.
Variables can be divided into the following four categories:
There is also the special PASSWORD variable, which you can include in commands to prompt the user for a password. Once the password is successfully entered, it is saved for the rest of the session so that you do not have to type it again whenever a command requires it. The session ends when you switch projects in the IDE or you exit the IDE.
