Intuitively modify your $PATH.

Installation

Build from source

Usage

``shell pad-path 0.1.5 Intuitively modify your$PATH`

USAGE: pad [SUBCOMMAND]

FLAGS: -h, --help Prints help information -V, --version Prints version information

SUBCOMMANDS: add Add a directory clean Remove duplicates and non-existent directories [aliases: dedup] dn Decrease priority for a directory [aliases: down, dec] help Prints this message or the help of the given subcommand(s) ls List the directories in PATH [aliases: echo] rm Remove a directory [aliases: del] up Increase priority for a directory [aliases: inc] ```

It would be convenient, but insecure, to have pad-path modify the shell's environment variables directly. Instead, pad-path prints out what the new $PATH will look like, and the user can set it as the value for $PATH, or pipe it to another command.

An example workflow is below.

```shell

display your current $PATH

pad ls /folder/to/remove /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /sbin /bin /usr/games /usr/local/games /snap/bin

preview what $PATH would look like if you remove the first folder

pad rm /folder/to/remove /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /sbin /bin /usr/games /usr/local/games /snap/bin

set the new $PATH

export PATH=$(pad rm /folder/to/remove)

see that the new path is set

echo $PATH /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /sbin /bin /usr/games /usr/local/games /snap/bin ```
