How do you set Helm CLI env variables on windows?

If you use the Helm CLI tool it has a set of environment variables. For example on a command line type helm env and it will show a list of helm specific variables.

How do these get set and what command or where can I go to change them on a windows machine?

It seems you can use the setx command to override the default Helm environment variables.

For example setx HELM_NAMESPACE my-namespace will create a local user environment variable in windows that will override the default HELM_NAMESPACE value used by the tool. For the tool to use the changed value you must open up a new CLI.

You can validate that a new CLI is required by running the helm env in the CLI where setx was executed and then running the helm env in a new CLI. The values will be updated in the new CLI, but not in the original CLI.
