PathFIX
Fixes the PATH variable mess.
Pathfix is a tool to generate the $PATH
variable from configuration files.
In most cases you don't even need do edit the configuration,
because it comes with an included set of paths which will
be checked for existence and added on demand.
Documentation
See pathfix(1)
and pathfix.toml(5)
