I accidentally unset all the directories of $PATH
while trying to add a new one in ~/.bashrc
. I opened a new terminal window as I was editing and now $PATH
is empty. I'm worried if I boot from another drive to find the $PATH
I won't be able to boot into this drive again.
Basically, what is the default result of echo $PATH
?
~/.bashrc
is the wrong place to set environment variables though. You should do that in~/.profile
instead.:$PATH
at the end restored the PATH. And yes in~/.profile
there is code to "set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists" i.e.$HOME/bin
