Cygwin - setting up $PATH

I've found it's really difficult to setup path variable. I've tried a lot of combinations but nothing works at all. My over 1h work results are enter image description here but as you see on screenshot (http://puu.sh/33n0X.png )

echo $PATH

give strange directory and 

rm -rf k.txt

doesn't work at all. Does anyone has idea what is wrong there? I'm totally confused about it

Solution

  • If you want something a little more "normal", you can suppress the current PATH being appended, and just build your own.

    In your ~/.bash_profile, put something to this effect

    PATH=/bin

    and if you want System32 you can add it as well

    PATH=/bin:${TMP%U*}windows/system32
