Extend $PATH variable in git bash under Windows

Question

I\'m trying to extend my $PATH variable in git bash (MinGW shell) by adding the following to the file ~/.bashrc

PATH=$PATH\':/c/Program Files/maven/apache-maven-         


        

Answer 1

Here are two ideas.

You can have your path with double quote mark.

export PATH=$PATH:"/C/Program Files (x86)/apache-maven-3.3.3/bin"

Or, You can also make symbolic link for the directory.

ln -s "/C/Program Files (x86)/apache-maven-3.3.3/bin" ./mvnbin
export PATH=$PATH:/your-path/mvnbin

It works for me in mingw32 environment.
