No direct alternative to VAR ?= VALUE from make
Hello, I just discovered that task can't leave a variable if it's already declared in the system. There's vars, which always prioritizes internal variables, and there's env, which always prioritizes external ones, and there's dotenv, which can only pull variables from a file, but not from the environment. The only option is to write if-else-end on go templates for each such variable. Is it possible to make something like ?VAR to get similar behavior? Or is there another option that I don't know about? Please help.

I'm using variables like this:
env:
GEXEC_LOG_LEVEL: "{{ .GEXEC_LOG_LEVEL | default "debug" }}"
@sedyh You can try to use
default for that:
