I tried google to get some clarification, but I'm not even sure what question I need to ask. In the update the path lesson, the teacher keeps using something like:
nano .bashrc
export PATH=/home/smolderingflax/bin:$PATH
/bin keeps getting used as an example. Is this just a generic file? I think I read that it's used for executives. Does it need any more identification that that? Is it that if we want some exectutable to run at startup that's what we use?
