 The following environment variables are ones that you can set to change the behavior of Nx in different environments.

 | 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.                                                                                                   |
