# Environment Reference

Task allows you to configure some behavior using environment variables. This
page lists all the environment variables that Task supports.

| ENV | Default | Description |
| ----------------- | --------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `TASK_TEMP_DIR` | `.task` | Location of the temp dir. Can relative to the project like `tmp/task` or absolute like `/tmp/.task` or `~/.task`. |
| `TASK_REMOTE_DIR` | `TASK_TEMP_DIR` | Location of the remote temp dir (used for caching). Can relative to the project like `tmp/task` or absolute like `/tmp/.task` or `~/.task`. |
| `TASK_OFFLINE` | `false` | Set the `--offline` flag through the environment variable. Only for remote experiment. CLI flag `--offline` takes precedence over the env variable |
| `FORCE_COLOR` | | Force color output usage. |

## Custom Colors

| ENV | Default | Description |
| --------------------------- | ------- | ----------------------- |
| `TASK_COLOR_RESET` | `0` | Color used for white. |
| `TASK_COLOR_RED` | `31` | Color used for red. |
| `TASK_COLOR_GREEN` | `32` | Color used for green. |
| `TASK_COLOR_YELLOW` | `33` | Color used for yellow. |
| `TASK_COLOR_BLUE` | `34` | Color used for blue. |
| `TASK_COLOR_MAGENTA` | `35` | Color used for magenta. |
| `TASK_COLOR_CYAN` | `36` | Color used for cyan. |
| `TASK_COLOR_BRIGHT_RED` | `91` | Color used for red. |
| `TASK_COLOR_BRIGHT_GREEN` | `92` | Color used for green. |
| `TASK_COLOR_BRIGHT_YELLOW` | `93` | Color used for yellow. |
| `TASK_COLOR_BRIGHT_BLUE` | `94` | Color used for blue. |
| `TASK_COLOR_BRIGHT_MAGENTA` | `95` | Color used for magenta. |
| `TASK_COLOR_BRIGHT_CYAN` | `96` | Color used for cyan. |

All color variables are [ANSI color codes][ansi]. You can specify multiple codes
separated by a semicolon. For example: `31;1` will make the text bold and red.
Task also supports 8-bit color (256 colors). You can specify these colors by
using the sequence `38;2;R:G:B` for foreground colors and `48;2;R:G:B` for
background colors where `R`, `G` and `B` should be replaced with values between
0 and 255.

For convenience, we allow foreground colors to be specified using shorthand,
comma-separated syntax: `R,G,B`. For example, `255,0,0` is equivalent to
`38;2;255:0:0`.
