** ~$PATH~
Some global variables might sometimes be needed and need to be modified. This is for example the case with my ~PATH~ variable in which I add Rust’s Cargo’s binaries, Go’s binaries and my own executables. And of course, don’t forget to add the already existing ~PATH~.
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Global_variables-$PATH-e1320303
:END:
A variable available with the fish shell is ~fish_user_paths~ which lists custom paths to binaries specified by the user. Using this variable ensures they are included in the ~$PATH~ variable only once without the need to set it directly. For instance, my ~PATH~ variable needs Rust’s Cargo’s binaries, Go’s binaries, my own executables, and some more.

The code below ensures the ~PATH~ is updated only at login, and every location is addded only once.
So, let’s set our user paths:
#+BEGIN_SRC fish :noweb yes
for p in <<generate-extra-paths()>>
if status is-login
contains $p $PATH || set PATH $p $PATH
end
end
set -g fish_user_paths \
<<generate-extra-paths()>>
