How does the app works? Link to heading

This app use fedora’s .bashrc.d folder, so it doesn’t mess with your .bashrc file. If you are on another linux distro, it will create a .bashrc.d folder and add the following code to your .bashrc file

if [ -d ~/.bashrc.d ]; then
    for rc in ~/.bashrc.d/*; do
        if [ -f "$rc" ]; then
            . "$rc"
        fi
    done
fi
unset rc

This script loops through all the files in the .bashrc.d folder and sources them, making sure that the paths and aliases are available in your bash session.

Why this app ? Link to heading

While it is possible to manage your path from the file, some users are less familiar with code like syntax for path and alias management. Some also may find it quicker to open a gui to add their paths rather than add them through .bashrc

This was made as an attempt to make the family of operating system using tools such as the Linux kernel and the GNU library (Commonly refered to as Linux or LiGNUx) to be more user-friendly

I opened the app and my paths were not added Link to heading

This is not something that is supported. It only manages the paths and alias that were set up in the app.
