The above example overwrites global variables. If your stop environment job depends
on global variables, you can use [anchor variables](#yaml-anchors-for-variables) when setting the `GIT_STRATEGY`

#### YAML anchors for variables
[YAML anchors](#anchors) can be used with `variables`, to easily repeat assignment
of variables across multiple jobs. It can also enable more flexibility when a job
requires a specific `variables` block that would otherwise override the global variables.
In the example below, we will override the `GIT_STRATEGY` variable without affecting
the use of the `SAMPLE_VARIABLE` variable:
```yaml
# global variables
variables: &global-variables
SAMPLE_VARIABLE: sample_variable_value
# a job that needs to set the GIT_STRATEGY variable, yet depend on global variables
job_no_git_strategy:
stage: cleanup
variables:
<<: *global-variables
GIT_STRATEGY: none
script: echo $SAMPLE_VARIABLE
```
