I added something to my bash_profile while trying to add Playframework to my path and something got messed up badly.
I added the following line to my .bash_profile
export PATH=$PATH:the path to my play excitable
then I saved everything and restarted my terminal. I can no longer do anything from my terminal. I can't cd into any directory, I can no longer find java, I can't open vi or nano.
I found this thread on SuperUser that suggested opening a different terminal and changing the bash profile.
I tried opening bash by typing
/bin/bash
and I was successfully able to open another terminal but I still don't have access to any of the regular unix commands. I still wasn't able to open vi or nano to remove the line that is causing the problem.
I tried downloading a new terminal application without any luck.
I tried turning on hidden files so that I can just change the file with a text editor by running the following command:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
but since my terminal isn't working that didn't work either.
How can I fix my computer.

While this is offtopic for stackoverflow, it's also pretty simple to fix:
Start Terminal.app.
Reset $PATH:
$ export PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
Fix ~/.bash_profile:
$ vi ~/.bash_profile
Or you can avoid setting $PATH at all with:
$ /usr/bin/vi ~/.bash_profile

My PhpStorm terminal doesn't work properly on Linux Mint
In Settings > Tools > Terminal my Shell path is "/bin/bash"
When I open Terminal window in PhpStorm and call ls command work properly but php and sudo and etc not work and return bash: php: command not found
Original terminal app:
Terminal in PhpStorm:
PhpStorm CLI interpreters:
Does the issue persist if your start PhpStorm from terminal, either with the command line launcher or with bin/phpstorm.sh?
When being launched from desktop/System menu, PhpStorm only sees environment variables configured in login shell, but not in interactive shell configuration files (like .bashrc or .zshrc).
Possible workarounds:
Workaround 1: make required variables available in a login shell by moving them to the corresponding shell profile config
Workaround 2: run IDE from a terminal
Workaround 3: edit the desktop launcher and set command to /path/to/shell -l -i -c "/path/to/phpstorm.sh" (make sure that the shell you specified there has the needed variables configured in its interactive shell configuration file)

I just switched to zsh as my default Mac OS terminal shell. However, I found it won't automatically hit the ~/.profile file. After researching on Google, it looks like it can be solved by adding the following command in ~/.zprofile to emulate whatever in ~/.profile:
emulate sh -c '~/.profile'
However, I got the follwoing error when terminal starting up:
zsh:1: permission denied: /Users/XXX/.profile
Any idea why this is happening?
To accomplish your goal, you'd have to use:
emulate sh -c 'source ~/.profile' # Note the `source`; alternatively, use `.`
Without the source, ~/.profile would run in a subshell, which defeats your intent (exports wouldn't "stick"); you have to source that other file.
(The specific error you saw stems from an attempt to execute ~/.profile directly, without its being marked as executable. Note that shell profiles normally needn't be executable, because their only purpose is to be (automatically) read by a shell. It's a moot point, however, given that sourcing from within a shell is needed.)
As for what zsh initialization file to put the command in:
On macOS, if you've made zsh your default shell, then ~/.zprofile works, as all shells you'll open in a terminal will be login (zsh) shells, which will read that file.
Generally, though, ~/.zshrc is the better choice, as that file gets sourced by any interactive zsh shell, whether it's a login shell or not. It's also the file to use with the Oh My Zsh framework.
Sounds like you should be using .zshrc
Add this to ~/.zshrc:
EXPORT JAVA_HOME="whatever"
And type $ source ~/.zshrc in your terminal window, or start a new shell instance.

I am using a Macbook Pro, and I wanted to change it to the current directory and a dollar sign prompt in Terminal. I've already looked at these resources to try and solve this issue.
I tried modifying the ~/.bashrc file and saving it but it did not seem to work.
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.rvm/bin # Add RVM to PATH for scripting
### Added by the Heroku Toolbelt
export PATH="/usr/local/heroku/bin:$PATH"
export PS1="\W$ ”
The last line is what I added to change the prompt.
This should be done in .bash_profile, not .bashrc.
nano ~/.bash_profile
Add a line containing this:
export PS1="\W\$ "
.bashrc is ONLY excuted when starting a sub-shell. bash login shell uses the following initialization scripts:
.bash_profile
.bash_login
.profile
You need to escape the dollar sign. Like this:
$ PS1="\W\$ "
~$ cd tmp
/Users/philip/tmp
tmp$
And once you change your .bashrc you either need to logout/back-in or . ~/.bashrc to re source it.
I would humbly recommend not doing this. Having a full path is very useful as 'tmp' directories could be anywhere. Consider using "\w" which does relative path (ie. uses ~ to represent HOME)

When I was using a Linux laptop as my dev machine, I used to do "gedit xxxx" in a Terminal. Now I just switched to MacBook, I d like to do the same thing.
I know that I can open gedit in a command line like "open gedit", but can I add the file name? Otherwise I have to use vim. I am not a fan of vim.
Add
alias gedit="open -a gedit"
to ~/.bash_profile :
Now you'll be able to gedit directly from the command line.
try:
open -a /path/to/gedit /path/to/file.txt
I added the following to my PATH:
:~/Applications/gedit.app/Contents/MacOS/
and afterwards I was able to access gedit from
the command line. One caveat: if gedit is not already running on the system, then it throws an error if I launch it from the command line. Once gedit is already running though, this works to open files in gedit from the command line.
To edit the path, open ~/.profile in an editor
I use textmate for dev, here is a tutorial how it is done for Textmate
http://manual.macromates.com/en/using_textmate_from_terminal.html
I believe the same would apply to gedit.
Hope it helps
