pathman

This project should not be confused with /therootcompany/pathman.

pathman is a simple CLI Manager for the Windows Environment Variables that
aims to simplify the process of managing environment variables in a quick and efficient manner.

pathman allows the user to add and remove keys of PATH environment variables in a convenient and user-friendly manner. The user can specify a specific folder as the value to add, otherwise it will be the folder they are currently in. System-Level and User-Level PATHs can be edited.

The program is written in Go and makes use of the Windows API to manipulate PATH variables by Registry.

Installation Guide

1. Download the latest version of pathman from [here] (https://github.com/juanpisss/`pathman`/releases/latest/download/`pathman`.exe)

2. Place the executable file in a folder of your choice. Do keep in mind this folder will be included in your system's PATH.

3. Run the pathman executable from the same folder. pathman will automatically add the folder to your system's PATH for universal usage.

That's it! You are now ready to use pathman on your system.

Usage

pathman makes it easy to add folders/values to your system's environment variable. Here's how to use pathman to add a folder to PATH:

• To add the current folder to PATH, simply run pathman in the terminal. pathman will automatically add the current folder to PATH.

• If you want to add a different folder to PATH, use the --folder flag followed by the path to the desired folder. For example, to add /example/folder to PATH, run the following command:

  pathman --folder /example/folder

• To add a folder to a different environment variable, use the --path flag followed by the name of the variable If the variable does not exist, pathman will create it for you. For example, to add a folder to a variable named MY_VAR, run the following command:

  pathman --folder /example/folder --path MY_VAR

FAQ

Why only for Windows?

It's really a personal thing; I only use Windows as my operating system and created pathman as a fun Golang side project to solve this one issue I keep having whenever I wanna manually install CLI tools (that are not available on chocolately, or are but are broken), and I also wanted to mess with the Windows API directly.
