In BASH, you can make that all one statement:
export PATH='/Users/Chris/clip/bin:$PATH'
notice that I changed your end quote. Personally, I'd do:
export PATH='$PATH:/Users/Chris/clip/bin'
When you issue a command that doesn't start with a / , which signifies an absolute path like /Users/Chris/clip/bin/program, the shell will try prepending each path in the PATH environmental variable, in the order that they're listed, to your command until the shell doesn't get a 'Command not found' error. Having your path at the start of the PATH variable means that it would be checked first.
If you're happy with your environment, you don't need anything else in .bashrc.

- There’s one more fun part when using Mac OS if you use screen (I’m unsure about tmux it may well be the same). A screen session will start by running `/.bashrc` For this reason I usually put all my desired shell settings and aliases etc in `./bashprofile` and my `/.bashrc` file looks like this.
- UNIX's (arguably) most popular and easy to use shell, now ported and ready to use in MacOSX.1. Recommended for shell newbies and vets alike, this is the UNIX.
- Control ls command output. The ls command lists directory contents and you can colorize the.
- The.bashrc File. The.bashrc file lives in the root of your home directory. Most terminals and file UIs do not show 'dot files' by default; they are hidden files. You can see yours by entering: $ ls -a /.bashrc /c/Users/nicho/.bashrc. The -a switch on the ls command tells the program to print all files, even dotfiles.

Question: Q: create a.bashrc I'm very new to programming in UNIX and I'm trying to add the bin folder of the package i'm working with, so that command interpreter (Terminal) can find the programs. As I understand it I need to add the instructions.

To make aliases of macOS Unix commands in your bash or zsh shell on macOS and earlier versions, it is done via your .bash_profile or .zsh file which lives in your home account directory, if the file does not already exist, just create one.
As of macOS 10.6 Catalina, Apple has made the zsh shell the default shell, previously it was the bash shell.
Launch Terminal from the /Application/Utilities folder
Go to your home directory by just entering cd followed by the ‘return’ key to enter the command:
![Bashrc Bashrc](/uploads/1/1/8/1/118137093/845379339.png)
List your home directory contents including invisible files to see if the file already exists, use:
Create the .bash_profile or .zsh file using the command line program called ‘nano’ if it doesn’t exist:
When the .bash_profile or .zsh file is created you are ready to enter your alias commands.
So here I am using the alias ‘l’ to alias the command ‘ls -lah’
So here I am using the alias ‘l’ to alias the command ‘ls -lah’
In nano ‘control+o’ to write the file out and ‘control+x’ to exit the file.
Refresh the shell environment by entering the command below:
Bashrc For Cmd
Or..
Bashrc For Mac
That’s it, now the alias will take effect.
To add other aliases just start a new line, and apply the same formatting.
