Adding git to PATH for awsebcli-CodePudding

I am using the awsebcli to create an elastic beanstalk instance on terminal

In order to get terminal to recognize the eb command, I had to configure my ~/.bash_profile to this:

# Setting the path for Python 3.8
PATH="/Users/username/Library/Python/3.8/bin"
export PATH

After running source ~/.bash_profile terminal started recognizing the eb command.

However, during the eb init set up flow I get this error:

ERROR: CommandError - Your project is using git, but git doesn't appear to be installed.
Have you added git to your PATH?

I then noticed the git cli was no longer being recognized. I got it to work again by emptying out my ~./bash_profile file and running source ~/.bash_profile again

So now I am in this limbo where eb doesn't work without the PATH specified in my ~./bash_profile but then I can't finish the setup without git. I know the solution involves some sort of edit to the PATH but I'm not sure what that needs to be.

CodePudding user response：

Try

# Setting the path for Python 3.8
PATH="$PATH:/Users/username/Library/Python/3.8/bin"
export PATH

so you don't overwrite the PATH but add to it.
