Re: [Fish-users] Proper way to put /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin/ in $PATH

[Jesse A. <jes...@me...>]

Yeah. This is exactly what I'm doing now. :/ Seems a little sketchy, but I do something similar.

# NOTE: There is probably a sexier nicer way to do this, but until I figure that out I am manually unsetting here.
# Unsets PATH
set -g -x PATH

# This allows us to use Homebrew versions of things (like git) rather than the pre-installed or XCode installed versions.
# See http://blog.grayghostvisuals.com/git/how-to-keep-git-updated/ for reference.
set -g -x PATH $PATH /usr/local/bin

# Sets necessary PATH defaults
set -g -x PATH $PATH /usr/bin /bin /usr/sbin /sbin

I use Homebrew to keep git, MySql, and many other formula's up-to-date. If I add /usr/local/bin/ to $fish_user_paths it appends and Fish still uses the git version located in /usr/bin/ which is the OS X default installed and out-of-date version.
