Well, this is fun: $ which git-foo $ type git-foo git-foo is /Users/my.user/.local/bin/git-foo $ git-foo --help Help output from git-foo $ GIT_TRACE=1 git foo 14:26:18.849078 git.c:749 trace: exec: git-foo 14:26:18.849815 run-command.c:657 trace: run_command: git-foo git: 'foo' is not a git command. See 'git --help'. I can't say I've ever seen `which` and `type` disagree before ... And today-I-learned that while bash expands `~` in PATH entries other programs do not. The fix was changing my PATH from: PATH=~/.local/bin:other:paths to: PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:other:paths Thanks so much for the help!
