-# Find Any Dotfiles That Modify Path Env Var
-
-Whether you are using `zsh`, `bash`, or some other shell, there are a variety
-of dotfiles where you can place statements to update the `PATH` env var. These
-files don't all run in the same contexts and it can be tricky to debug if one
-is clobbering the path set by another.
-
-One way to audit how your `PATH` gets set and track down any issues is to find
-any place where the path may be getting modified in your dotfiles.
-
-I like to use [`rg` (ripgrep)](https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep) for tasks
-like this.
-
-First, I want to check where the `PATH` is explicitly modified.
-
-```bash
-$ rg 'export PATH' ~/\.* --max-depth 0
-```
-
-This looks at all instances of dotfiles in my home directory where `export
-PATH` appears. That should catch the majority of ways that it gets updated.
-
-Next, because I am using `zsh` as my shell, I want to look for another way my
-path might be set. `zsh` defaults to setting up `path` as proxy for `PATH` that
-acts as an array.
-
-I check for any instances of `path=` or `path+=` in my dotfiles:
-
-```bash
-$ rg 'path\+?=' ~/\.* --max-depth 0
-```
-
-Note that the `--max-depth 0` is really important for both because otherwise a
-ton of irrelevant stuff buried in deeply-nested dot-directories will be
-surfaced.
-
-If you want just a file name summary of the results, tack on a `-l` flag.
