Is it possible to set a project level gradle property or an environment variable in IntellIJ?

sounds like a job for a ```local.properties``` file. No?

Doesn't work. I'd have to parse it myself and I'm looking for something built in.

Yes, you can use a `gradle.properties` file

Ex:
```kotlin.code.style=official
org.gradle.parallel=true

logbackVersion=1.2.11
awsVersion=0.15.1-beta
ktorVersion=1.6.8
kotlinxSerializationVersion=1.3.1
koinVersion=3.1.4
korimVersion=2.2.2
```
Then reference the versions in a build.gradle.kts file

```val logbackVersion: String by project
val awsVersion: String by project
val ktorVersion: String by project
val kotlinxSerializationVersion: String by project
val koinVersion: String by project

dependencies {
    implementation(project(":core:core-maths"))
        implementation("ch.qos.logback:logback-classic:$logbackVersion")
...
}
```
        
You can also use `by rootProject` instead if you have a nested module and want to get the value from a root gradle property file instead of the immediate parent.

Sorry I should've clarified. I don't want to commit the variable to git.

It's variable is a path to a local dynamic library. Everyone's is gonna be different depending on their OS and distro.

Oh, then you can try with env variables maybe?

```val myVar: String = System.getenv("varname")```

Yes but how do I set the env variable in IntelliJ?

<@UBJF87EBY> Maybe try editing the run configuration?

Otherwise use terminal, `export MY_VAR=var_value`

The latter is a bother to do on Linux but it seems like the only way.
