Difficulties defining environment variables in netlify.toml

[luke]

Hi, @dafoobar. I believe I have already answered this question here:

Defining environment variables for git LFS in netlify.toml

Hi, @dafoobar. This environment variable is needed before the clone of the repo. The netlify.toml file is only available after the repo cloning it done. At that point it it too late to set this environment variable. For this reason, it can only be set in the web UI. If there are other questions about this, please let us know.
