# 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.

Welcome to the standard library of `nushell`!
The standard library is a pure-nushell collection of custom commands which
provide interactive utilities and building blocks for users writing casual scripts or complex applications.
To see what's here:
> use std
> help commands | select name usage | where name =~ "std "
╭────┬─────────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ # │ name │ usage │
├────┼─────────────────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 0 │ std assert │ Universal assert command │
│ 1 │ std assert equal │ Assert $left == $right │
. . .
│ 11 │ std clip │ put the end of a pipe into the system clipboard. │
│ 12 │ std dirs add │ Add one or more directories to the list. │

🧰 Using the standard library in the REPL or in scripts
All commands in the standard library must be "imported" into the running environment
(the interactive read-execute-print-loop (REPL) or a .nu script) using the
use command.
You can choose to import the whole module, but then must refer to individual commands with a std prefix, e.g:
use std
std log debug "Running now"
std assert (1 == 2)
Or you can enumerate the specific commands you want to import and invoke them without the std prefix.
use std ["log debug" assert]
log debug "Running again"
assert (2 == 1)
This is probably the form of import you'll want to add to your env.nu for interactive use.
