What does it mean to add to the PATH in linux? What are .bashrc and .bash_profile files?
In this video, I talk about basic Linux architecture and cover basic terms and concepts associated with Linux systems like environmental variables, shell and kernel. Further I discuss the idea behind adding the executables to the path and demonstrate how to do it by using terminal or adding it to bash_profile.
I hope you find this video helpful! Leave your thoughts in the comment section below!
