+** Environment Variables
+
+MacOS doesn’t have a reasonable way to set environment variables and
+read them automatically any more.  So, let’s use the
+[[https://github.com/purcell/exec-path-from-shell][exec-path-from-shell]] package to set up ~exec-path~ and similar
+variables from whatever my shell configuration is.
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
+(use-package exec-path-from-shell
+  :if (eq system-type 'darwin)
+  :init (exec-path-from-shell-initialize))
+#+END_SRC
