### Isolating Test Environments
When testing changes or running multiple goose configurations, use `GOOSE_PATH_ROOT` to isolate your data:
```bash
# Test with a clean environment
export GOOSE_PATH_ROOT="/tmp/goose-test"
./target/debug/goose session
# Or for a single command
GOOSE_PATH_ROOT="/tmp/goose-dev" cargo run -p goose-cli -- session
```
This creates isolated `config/`, `data/`, and `state/` directories under the specified path, preventing your test sessions from affecting your main goose installation. See the [environment variables guide](./documentation/docs/guides/environment-variables.md#development--testing) for more details.
