+| NX_ADD_PLUGINS                   | boolean | If set to false, Nx will not add plugins to infer tasks. This is true by default. Workspaces created before Nx 18 will have this disabled via a migration for backwards compatibility                                                  |
 | NX_BASE                          | string  | The default base branch to use when calculating the affected projects. Can be overridden on the command line with `--base`.                                                                                                            |
 | NX_CACHE_DIRECTORY               | string  | The cache for task outputs is stored in `node_modules/.cache/nx` by default. Set this variable to use a different directory.                                                                                                           |
 | NX_CACHE_PROJECT_GRAPH           | boolean | If set to `false`, disables the project graph cache. Most useful when developing a plugin that modifies the project graph.                                                                                                             |
