From e7d83775316a7024aa0cc2a843668f81bec9727c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Indrajit Raychaudhuri Date: Fri, 1 Apr 2022 15:40:01 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] zprofile: Expand the default list of well known paths Two additional sets of paths are now added to the default list of well known paths: '$HOME/{bin,sbin}' and '/opt/{homebrew,local}/{bin,sbin}'. - '$HOME/{bin,sbin}': Most users have custom scripts in '$HOME/bin' anyway, we might as well honor those. '$HOME/sbin' is not really common, but we can keep it for consistency. - '/opt/{homebrew,local}/{bin,sbin}': With Homebrew changing default installation location in macOS on Apple Silicon which will eventually become ubiquitous, we have a good reason to add these paths by default. While at it, we also honor MacPorts installation. In all cases, we add them _iff_ the paths actually exist, not otherwise. This has the side effect of a newly installed program not available immediately in the '$path' in a mint fresh system (because of the fact that '/opt/{homebrew,local}/{bin,sbin}' won't exist initially) until the shell is reloaded. But that's a minor inconvenience to keep the '$path' from getting unnecessarily bloated. --- runcoms/zprofile | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/runcoms/zprofile b/runcoms/zprofile index 5b8b638..d2acd31 100644 --- a/runcoms/zprofile +++ b/runcoms/zprofile @@ -49,7 +49,9 @@ typeset -gU cdpath fpath mailpath path # Set the list of directories that Zsh searches for programs. path=( - /usr/local/{bin,sbin} + $HOME/{,s}bin(N) + /opt/{homebrew,local}/{,s}bin(N) + /usr/local/{,s}bin(N) $path )
