manage-path

Status:

This micro-lib allows you to alter the $PATH in a cross-platform way.

Main Usage

``javascript
var path = require('path')
var managePath = require('manage-path')
var alterPath = managePath(process.env)
alterPath.shift(path.join(process.cwd(), 'node_modules', '.bin') // add one path to the beginning
// process.env.PATH now starts with the .bin in your node_modules directory :-)
// unless you happen to be running on windows, in which case it might be process.env.Path :-)
// but you don't have to think about that...

alterPath.push('~/custombin', '/usr/other/bin') // add multiple paths to the end
alterPath.push(['~/foo/bar', '/bar/foo/bin']) // array-style multi-path add for ultimate flexibility :-)

// need to get the path value cross-platform?
alterPath.get() // <-- returns value of PATH or Path... depending :-)

// want to restore the path to what it was before you mucked with it?
// just call the function you get back:
alterPath.restore()
`

options
