CLI environment variable to define the default Pulumi organization about pulumi

[Frassle]

Just something like PULUMI_ORG/PULUMI_ORGANIZATION?

[ringods]

@Frassle yes. I prefer the full word, so PULUMI_ORGANIZATION

I would suggest PULUMI_DEFAULT_ORGANIZATION instead; simply having PULUMI_ORGANIZATION makes me think that it's going to unilaterally use that organization, when in reality it is just setting the default used when not explicitly passed.

Also, what takes precedence if the end user also supplied pulumi org set-default <org-name>?

From end user point of view I would expect the environment variable to take precedence over pulumi org set-default <org-name>. This would be important in our direnv based workflow as this aims to make the deployment scripts as independent as possible from individual user configuration.

We recently shipped PULUMI_ORGANIZATION as an env var in Pulumi YAML:

Likely do not want to conflict with that, so 👍 to Joe's comment.
