how to insert a path front of path environment variable

Question

here is my $PATH variable.

/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games

when i want to add ./ to the PATH by placing export PATH=$PATH:./ i got like this

/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:./

but i want to add the ./ in front like this

./:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games

how to do it?

Answer 1

The order you give is the order you get: export PATH=.:$PATH (the trailing / is optional).

But be aware that it's not recommended practice.
