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

[Robert C. <ro...@ro...>]

Hey Jesse,

I ran into the exact same problem a few months ago. A friendly fish user
suggested I explicitly set my path in config.fish and that has worked. The
line in my ~/.config/fish/config.fish file is:

set -x PATH /usr/local/bin /usr/bin /bin /usr/local/sbin /usr/sbin /sbin

I'm sure there are drawbacks to this method, but it has worked for me for a
few months now.

Cheers
Robert
