Not an actual bug, but I found this a couple of days ago. And it seems like an elegant hack, allowing `/` in directory, files, etc.
Typing `mkdir foo:bar` in my macOS's terminal leads to a directory, that Finder shows as `foo/bar`.
- ComputerGuru 9y agoGood luck adding that directory to your PATH :)
- acous 9y agoClassic Mac OS (<10) used : as a directory separator, so it's probably related to that.
- xenadu02 9y agoSuch directories are non-portable and can’t be used in $PATH on any Unix, nor any other path-like mechanism like $DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH.
