Examples:
```go-html-template
{{ os.Getenv "HOME" }} → /home/victor
{{ os.Getenv "USER" }} → victor
```
You can pass values when building your site:
```bash
MY_VAR1=foo MY_VAR2=bar hugo
OR
export MY_VAR1=foo
export MY_VAR2=bar
hugo
```
And then retrieve the values within a template:
```go-html-template
{{ os.Getenv "MY_VAR1" }} → foo
{{ os.Getenv "MY_VAR2" }} → bar
```
With Hugo v0.91.0 and later, you must explicitly allow access to environment variables. For details, review [Hugo's Security Policy](/about/security-model/#security-policy). By default, environment variables beginning with `HUGO_` are allowed when using the `os.Getenv` function.
