Something new and amazing!

path:
  - value: |
      {{ .Home }}/.local/bin
    ifExists: true # defaults to false

This will check that the directory is present before changing path. It should be false by default to keep it speedy and in case the path is in a network drive which means it will slow startup if existence is checked.

Actually we can do further by using

ifMissing: ignore # default value
ifMissing: error # raises an error
ifMissing: create # creates the directory if missing

@trajano I don't seen an issue here with validating we have this at all times. There's no value in adding a directory again.
