Changing $HOME/bin to $HOME/.local/bin #156

Closed umeboshi2 closed 5 years ago

umeboshi2 commented 5 years ago

I've been using fresh for over five years now. In the last couple of years I decided to stop using ~/bin in favor of ~/.local/bin. During the last couple of years, I had not noticed that ~/bin is still at the head of the $PATH. I found that this was due to my bashrc sourcing the shell.sh file generated by fresh.

What I did was add FRESH_BIN_PATH=~/.local/bin to my freshrc file before calling fresh in that file. This seems to fix the problem. My question is "is this the right way to do it, or am I missing something?"

Hi there. Glad you find fresh useful. :)

Yes, defining FRESH_BIN_PATH at the top of your freshrc file is the right way to customise where bin scripts are written.

We can probably make this option easier to discover by mentioning it in the README. We already have #152 for this so I’m going to close this as a duplicate. Cheers.
