+## ENVIRONMENT
 
-`blogc-git-receiver` will export an environment variable called `BLOGC_GIT_RECEIVER`
-when calling `gmake` to build websites. This variable can be used to enable building
-of content that should only be built when running in production environment, for
-example. This variable will not be added when using blogc-make(1), whose builds are
-always considered to be "production" (blogc-make(1) is never called with `-D`).
+The following variable can be set in the SSH Server (usually in `~/.ssh/environment`)
+to change `blogc-git-receiver` behaviour:
+
+  * `BLOGC_GIT_RECEIVER_BASEDIR`:
+    Path to a directory that should be used by `blogc-git-receiver` instead of the
+    user's home directory. Useful for shared hosting environments that only provide
+    one shell user.

+The following variable is exported by `blogc-git-receiver` when building websites
+with make(1):

+  * `BLOGC_GIT_RECEIVER=1`:
+    This variable can be used to enable building of content that should only be
