# path_helper.go

This is a Golang implementation of the OS X [`path_helper`][path_helper]

utility.

[path_helper]: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man8/path_helper.8.html

## Usage

First setup one or more path files. A path file contains one directory per line

that should be added to `PATH`. Eg:

```

/usr/local/bin

/usr/bin

/bin

```

Add the following to your `.bashrc` or `.zshrc` file:

```

eval $(path_helper ~/.paths)

```

If you have multiple path files specify them as arguments:

```

eval $(path_helper /etc/paths /etc/paths.d/*)

```

## Installation

Clone this repo:

```

git clone https://github.com/itspriddle/path_helper.git

```

Build and install:

```

make

make install

```

If you want to install somewhere other than `/usr/local/bin`, supply `PREFIX`:

```

make

PREFIX=$HOME/local make install

```
