I am trying to set my PATH and HOME in cygwin. Under the /etc/profile
file it says to change the bashrc.bash file and I have amended this
but still no change. I also see there is a .bash_profile file in both
the /etc/defaults/etc/skel and /etc/skel. I originally thought that
this is the file I would amend but I expected this to be in my home
directory. Any suggestions?
Try editing ~/.bashrc instead. That file should be loaded when bash is
started, and that can be used to set the PATH. If you are using Win2000
or XP, other environment variables, such as HOME, can be set under the
Advanced tab in Control Panel / System Properties.
