Save current directory in variable using Bash?
Solution 1:
This saves the absolute path of the current working directory to the variable cwd:
cwd=$(pwd)
In your case you can just do:
export PATH=$PATH:$(pwd)+somethingelse
Solution 2:
I have the following in my .bash_profile:
function mark {
export $1=`pwd`;
}
so anytime I want to remember a directory, I can just type, e.g. mark there .
Then when I want to go back to that location, I just type cd $there
Solution 3:
Your assignment has an extra $:
export PATH=$PATH:${PWD}:/foo/bar
