Expand description

Appends the given path to the PATH environment variable

This function provides a cross-platform interface for appending a given path to the user’s PATH environment variable.

It is generally necessary for the end user to restart their shell or to source their shell configuration file for the changes to take effect.

§OS-specific behavior

This function behaves differently depending on the operating system, because the method of modifying the PATH environment variable varies across platforms.

§macOS and Linux

On macOS and Linux, PATH is modified by adding a command to the user’s shell configuration file (e.g., .bashrc, .zshrc, etc.).

§Windows

On Windows, the user’s PATH is modified by updating the registry.
