PATH Manager


PATH variable

PATH Manager helps you manage the PATH environment variable.

What PATH Manager DOES NOT do

  • Never changes the PATH or other environment variables. This is the user's responsibility.
  • Never creates or removes directories. This is the user's responsibility.

Features

  • Displays directories from the PATH environment variable in an easy-to-view table.
  • Identify duplicated or missing (i.e., non-existent) directories & remove them from the export PATH string ONLY.
  • Provides ability to add/remove entries in the directories listing table.
  • Automatically construct a new export PATH statement based on the table contents.
  • Copy the export PATH statement to the MacOS clipboard.
  • Provide a separate tab for viewing all environment variables for the current user.

PATH commands

The PATH environment variable can be obtained from a variety of commands.

The following commands are currently supported:

  • printenv PATH
  • /usr/libexec/path_helper -s
  • zsh -i -c 'echo $PATH'
  • zsh -l -c 'echo $PATH'
  • zsh -li -c 'echo $PATH'
