Unless I switch back to bash, I now have to spell out the full path for scripts I have written. How does zsh find commands?
Things in /bin, /use/bin, etc. still work, but things in ~/bin are “not found” even when that path is at the beginning of both $PATH and $path.
After putting
PATH="~/bin:$PATH
path="$PATH"
in ~/.zshrc,
echo $PATH; echo $path
shows it at the beginning of the path, but it still doesn't find the commands. (And it's not permissions: the scripts work when I type their full paths.)
Best Answer
zsh
doesn't expand~
within quotes. You need to useinstead.
PS: And
path=$PATH
is not required,zsh
does this automatically
