I'm trying to set the environment variable HTTPS=true in macOS bash shell but it doesn't work when I printenv the variable HTTPS=true doesn't appear:

to set the env variable I used the commands set HTTPS=true and HTTPS=true
I have 3 questions:
- What's happening?
- How can I fix it?
- Which file I have to use in macOS to set the env variable as a permanent variable
~/.bash_profile. – Kusalananda Feb 22 '19 at 20:43printenv HTTPS(will get the value). – Kusalananda Feb 22 '19 at 20:44printenv HTTPSproduces no result but set | grep HTTPS works! – Ger Feb 22 '19 at 20:48export HTTPS=true. This creates an environment variable. He then didprintenv | grep HTTPSand I suggested usingprintenv HTTPSinstead. – Kusalananda Feb 22 '19 at 21:00
