I would like to run the command `export` in shell mode, and it works in the REPL if I run `;export`, but I need to have this inside my code so after doing research I thought it would be run(`export`), export inside backtick, but it doesn’t work. My question is, if `]add` is equivalent to `Pkg.add`, what about `;export`?

See the difference in the screenshot below:

It’s something like

```julia
run(`sh -c export`)

```
