pathos - CLI for editing a PATH env variable

Ruby Version

chip/pathos.rb

Go Version

This is the Go version.

Background

If you're like me, you might have a number of export PATH statements littering your shell resource file (e.g., .zshrc, .bashrc, etc). Over time, many directory entries get added and revised. Those that remain eventually become unnecessary, are mistakenly duplicated, or represent directories that no longer exist on the system. This is my attempt at cleaning up PATH environment variable. Hopefully, others will find this to be useful.

Demo

pathos DEMO

Built with the following:

Installation

go install github.com/chip/pathos@latest

IMPORTANT

Be sure to save your changes with S(uppercase letter S) before quitting pathos, as changes will not be saved automatically.

Each time you save your changes to the directory list, pathos will build a revised export $PATH statement that is written to $HOME/pathos.sh.

To use the new PATH, ~/pathos.shMUST BE SOURCED to take effect within your shell.

source $HOME/pathos.sh
