I wrote a #powershell function to rebuild the PATH env var because I was annoyed after installing a new CLI tool that it wasn't immediately available. This cross-platform function will update PATH with the machine/user/process-scoped vars. And now this is where you tell me there's a better way 😅

Chocolatey does this automagically 😁

I thought so but when installing dotnet the command wasn't found without opening a new terminal or refreshing PATH myself 🤔

Ah. You know what. You’re right. `refreshenv` is a tool included to refresh the path. It is up to a maintainer to use it as the last step of a package. Though you could set a post install global hook to do it for every package. Brb. Blog post time.
