How to define global variables for all taskfiles

Let me give you more context: I have a structure like

project-root/
│
├── Taskfile.yml
├── stream1/
│   ├── component1/
│   │   └── Taskfile.yml
│   ├── component2/
│   │   └── Taskfile.yml
├── stream2/
│   ├── component1/
│   │   └── Taskfile.yml

project-root/
│
├── Taskfile.yml
├── stream1/
│   ├── component1/
│   │   └── Taskfile.yml
│   ├── component2/
│   │   └── Taskfile.yml
├── stream2/
│   ├── component1/
│   │   └── Taskfile.yml

And for each Taskfile.yml I want to have command that I want to call in any directory in cd project-root I want to have: - task command - task stream1:command - task stream1:component1:command cd project-root/stream1: - task command - task component1:command cd project-root/stream1/task1: - task command And task with includes works great for this structure. But I want to define some variables that will be available in every Taskfile. It's doesn't matter from what directory I calls task, it should use variables that I defined somewhere in one place. There may be about 10 of these variables and I would not have to copy them to each Taskfile. May be you can suggest some other options how to resolve my issue 🙂
