I would prefer for that to not be default, sounds all in all like lots of unexcpected effects and possibly security issues. I too think this likely has some unexpected security implications and would not be for it by default. On machines where I actually need this I personally use $HOME/.bin so I think you'll find each person likes their own setup. My recommendation would be to use something like homeshick: https://github.com/andsens/homeshick You can see my setup here: https://github.com/cardoe/dotfiles yeah, i tend to agree with these. i also use ~/.bin/ on my systems, and store my syncable ~/ stuff in git. so when i get to a new system, i just clone that and move on. Well, ok no problem |
Every time I land on a new user or new system I need to manually add something like: if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH" fi to my .bashrc for getting the tools installed in my bin dir to be in the path, I was wondering if maybe this could be done in /etc/profile :/ Thanks a lot
