Explaining like you are 5:
If you have worked with programming languages, you might have come across global variables and inbuilt functions/keywords.
PATH
is 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/bin
in yourPATH
variable, 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/.bashrc
file, 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:
env
Also, 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.
TheDarkQuark@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•My experience with microsoft's ads for linux.654·9 months agoI’m glad that you want to switch to Linux, but I think there’d be open source solutions for Windows too. I daily drive Linux, and I would begin with looking for open source timers if I ever need timers. Why not do the same in Windows too?
Here are a few: https://alternativeto.net/software/free-countdown-timer/?platform=windows&license=opensource

If you want updates, may be go for gen 6/7. 5a won’t be receiving updates after August 2024.

TheDarkQuark@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Can I follow a specific account on Lemmy?3·2 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.
TheDarkQuark@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is that a mouse? Or a lemming?English3·2 years agoGet all that out of here. My headcanon would always be this:
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.
