Explaining like you are 5:
If you have worked with programming languages, you might have come across global variables and inbuilt functions/keywords.
PATHis a similar global variable for your terminal session.Every time you open up a terminal, you load up these “global variables”, and you/programs can access them (or the applications assigned to them).
So, let’s say you have your application (executable) as
/home/werecat/corncob/bin/corn, instead of starting it with./home/werecat/corncob/bin/corn ..., if you have/home/werecat/corncob/binin yourPATHvariable, you can just use it ascorn ....export PATH="/home/werecat/corncob/bin:$PATH"just means:
PATH = /home/werecat/corncob/bin + PATH- persist (export) path for the duration of this session (usually until you close the terminal tab)
If you see somewhere to add it to your
/home/werecat/.bashrcfile, it means “all commands in .bashrc file are auto-executed every time you start a new terminal session, so if you have it there, you won’t need to manually keep entering the command over and over again”.You can list these environment variables by just running:
envAlso, recommend you have a look at https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/how-to-set-an-environment-variable-in-linux/.
Hope this helps. Good luck on your Linux journey.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Can I follow a specific account on Lemmy?
3·3 years agoDidn’t try this particular link, but in general, with a feed link, you can plug it in any feeds app and get notified whenever the user posts something. Feeder is a good android RSS feeds app.

Just use SSH keys.
https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent
And use SSH urls (git@…) instead of HTTPS urls (https://…) when cloning.
