Perhaps making a small bash script that cds into the system-wide bb.edn project and then calls bb from there might be easier.

In `/usr/local/bin` or whatever dir is on the path:

`/usr/local/bin/bbsys`:

```auto
#!/usr/bin/env bash

cd $(dirname $0)
bb $@

```

`/usr/local/bin/bb.edn`:

```clojure
{:deps {medley/medley {:mvn/version "1.3.0"}}
 :tasks {:requires ([medley.core :as medley])
         a (prn (medley/index-by :id [{:id 1} {:id 2}]))}}

```

Then from anywhere:

```auto
$ bbsys a
{1 {:id 1}, 2 {:id 2}}

```
