Access Environment Variables in config.yml

[dbinetti]

I've searched but as of yet have not found a straightforward way to access environment variables in config.yml. I'm hoping to set a boolean flag for the local_backend config variable that is dependent on environment.

This is how I do it to set the branch:

# config.yml

backend:
  name: git-gateway
  branch: __BRANCH__

# build.sh

sed -i "s|__BRANCH__|${HEAD}|g" static/admin/config.yml
hugo --gc --minify -b $URL # Your build command. I use Hugo in this case

# netlify.toml

[build]
  command = "chmod +x ./build.sh && ./build.sh"
