How do I configure environment variables in cmder?

Question

I'm using cmder (https://github.com/cmderdev/cmder), and would like to be able to:

Configure entries to be automatically added the PATH when I start cmder
Configure environment variables that will be automatically set when I start cmder

How do I do this?

Is there a tabbed console app? Preferably with ctrl-tab or some other shortcut for switching between them? Windows really needs something like virtual tty's. I've seen some that have transparent windows and stuff, but that's a fluff feature that doesn't help. Edit: ok, I was thinking of conemu, which cmder appears to use. — Justin Goldberg, Oct 27 '15 at 13:26

There is a user startup script in cmder\config\user-profile.cmd. To add items to your PATH, you can do the following;

@set PATH=<path_of_your_item>;%PATH%

Not sure what version it changed, but now it seems to be `cmder\vendor\init.bat`. – Ludwik Dec 05 '15 at 12:19

No, init.bat gets overwritten. Thats why its placed in the vendor folder. – d0x Feb 02 '16 at 10:30
Seems like you're right. – Ludwik Mar 06 '16 at 18:41
Do you know why this is happening to me? `call` does not source a .cmd file correctly: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53523506/sourcing-a-cmd-file-with-call-from-windows-cmder – nephewtom Nov 28 '18 at 17:23
Doesn't work when you rerun the terminal after close it – fsalazar_sch Jan 10 '23 at 20:24

Alternatively, you can set them on startup under Settings -> Startup -> Environment and add

set PATH=<path_of_your_item>;%PATH%`.
