Why do I need to add ~/.rbenv/bin to my path?

问题

I read in "rbenv can't change global ruby version" that I need to add ~/.rbenv/bin to my PATH for rbenv to work.

It's also mentioned in the documentation but that directory doesn't exist as shown below:

➜  ~ ls -a ~/.rbenv/
.  ..  plugins  shims  version  versions

So why do I need to add a directory that doesn't exist to my path for rbenv to work?

Edit:

@theTinMan, I've tried uninstall and reinstalling, but I still don't have a ~/.rbenv/bin path. Where are you seeing in the documentation that it should be there?

➜  ~/D/w/t/underline-test  rbenv --version
rbenv 1.0.0
➜  ~/D/w/t/underline-test  which rbenv
rbenv () {
    local command
    command="$1"
    if [ "$#" -gt 0 ]
    then
        shift
    fi
    case "$command" in
        (rehash | shell) eval "$(rbenv "sh-$command" "$@")" ;;
        (*) command rbenv "$command" "$@" ;;
    esac
}
➜  ~/D/w/t/underline-test  cd
➜  ~  ls .rbenv
plugins  shims    version  versions
➜  ~  brew list | grep rbenv
rbenv

I had the following in my .zshrc

export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"
eval "$(rbenv init -)"

But I only needed the bottom line

# export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"
eval "$(rbenv init -)"
