Setup environment using script in Visual Studio Code

Question

I use remote development in Visual Studio Code for a C++/CMake project. However I need to setup a proper build environment before running cmake.

I know I can setup the environment manually by adding each variable to settings.json, but this is not really viable for me since there are a lot of variables that change frequently.

Is there a way I can have Visual Studio Code source a script before running CMake or automate this in any other way?
