echo $PATH not reflecting saved paths I have attempted to add, export PATH=&quot;$PATH:/Users/My_Name/desktop/My_Folder, to .bash_profile, .bashrc, and .profile. I executed the command source ~/.bash_profile, source ~/.bashrc, and source ~/.profile to refresh the $PATH and it does reflect that when I execute echo $PATH.
However, when I open a new terminal and execute echo $PATH it is unchanged.
The issue is my system (macOS Big Sur) will not recognize the updated $PATH when I open a new terminal unless I execute the source command every time to refresh my $PATH.
For context, I edited all three because I have scoured multiple sites for suggestions and have exhausted all my options.
I realized that I was using zsh. To change I executed chsh -s /bin/bash to change my shell to bash.
