Vim can read and write environment variables within your current shell session. Use a $ prefix to identify an environment variable, as in the following examples.
Display the contents of the PATH environment variable:
:echo $PATH
Assign the PATH environment variable to a Vim variable:
:let myvar = $PATH
Change the PATH environment variable for the current session:
:let $PATH = '/foo:/bar'
Insert the contents of the PATH environment variable into the buffer:
Press i to enter insert mode, press Ctrl-r then =$PATH and press Enter.
Append to the Existing Path.
:let $PATH .= ':/foo:/bar'
