PathFIX

Fixes the PATH variable mess.

Pathfix is a tool to generate the $PATH variable from configuration files. In most cases you don't even need do edit the configuration, because it comes with an included set of paths which will be checked for existence and added on demand.

Documentation

See pathfix(1) and pathfix.toml(5)

Install

Install the binary from the release to /usr/local/bin or any other path and execute Pathfix from and .bashrc, .zshrc, .profile or a similar file:

Download the .deb package and install it:

Configuration

You can edit the default configuration at /etc/pathfix.toml or add your own paths to ~/.pathfix.toml:

```toml

~/.pathfix.toml

Paths to check if they are present and to add
