Additional configuration

  • Will merge with existing set of environment variables, overwriting overlapping variables
  • A single object of key value pair(s)

Known Issues

1.) No easy navigation

2.) Requires documentation to be in the standard output from `cargo docs` 

3.) Testing and build automation
