Please advice, how to add Gitlab environment variable in my ASP.NET project

Have you tried something like [`Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.environment.getenvironmentvariable?view=net-6.0)? — sytech, Apr 14 '22 at 21:18
Tried it, can't retrieve the variable unfortunately. I have a pipeline that get the variable from Gitlab. But couldn't find a way to get it inside ASP.NET — Taieb, Apr 15 '22 at 13:56

Steps to try:

Set an environment variable in GitLab.
Call printenv in your job scripts. Inspect the output to ensure the variable is set and available to your GitLab runner.
Add a line to your codebase to read and print the environment variable: https://stackoverflow.com/a/37387589/2675670
