Hey there! Is there any way to run a command with a specific Pants environment once? Like setting an env variable or something? I do cross-platform development from an M1, and would like to override the default environment settings to be able to do a local build for just one

pants package

command, without having to mess with the files.

If it’s a one off, you could provide it on the command line. If it’s more frequent, you could put it into an

alias

# pants.toml
[cli.alias]
env-command = "some pants config flags and goals etc"

then just

> pants env-command ...

https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/reference-cli#alias

That's cool! But what is the flag for specifying which environment to use?

see this section in the docs about how you can redirect the environment name target mapping through config: https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/environments#toggle-use-of-an-environment-for-some-consumers so you can redirect that with command line flags for one-offs.
