 ### Can `azd` commands directly read and write system environment variables?
 
-No, `azd` commands cannot read or write system environment variables. Commands such as [`azd env`](/azure/developer/azure-developer-cli/reference#azd-env) or [`azd env get-values`](/azure/developer/azure-developer-cli/reference#azd-env-get-values) operate on values stored in the template `.env` file for a specific `azd` environment. `azd` environments are managed using subfolders in the `.azure/<environment name>` directory of your project template, which enables your template to have multiple environments. Environment subfolders hold configuration files such as `.env` that describe the environment.

 ### How do I manually set a new `azd` environment variable?
 
 Set additional `azd` environment variables using the [`azd env set`](https://review.learn.microsoft.com/azure/developer/azure-developer-cli/reference?branch=pr-en-us-5900#azd-env-set) command, providing the key and value for your variable.
