How to set a Path to run Gitea commands in Terminal regardless on the directory?

After installing Gitea from binary, I can only run the Gitea commands from the gitea home dir with eg. ./gitea -v

How do I set a Path so that Terminal responds to Gitea commands? The server is up and running and have created accounts etc.

Does a Path need to be added somehow to the .bashrc file?

The answer should enable "gitea" to be typed in Terminal as a command anywhere not just in the home Gitea folder.

Solution

  • Have you tried to use export in your .bashrc?

    export PATH=$PATH:/my/path/to/gitea

    By adding $PATH in the export, it appends the path gitea path rather than overwriting the PATH environment variable.
