Is there a way to add the current (the one you're currently in) directory to PATH without having to type it manually; for example

f:\TEMP\Add directory f:\TEMP to PATH without having to do

set PATH=%PATH%;f:\TEMP;

  • Are you looking to add a specific directory to PATH once so you can use it in the future, or are you looking to add every directory you go to into PATH whenever you go into that directory?

%CD% expands to current directory.

So you can use:

set PATH=%PATH%;%CD%

    @Web_Designer this is for Windows. You can do it in a bash shell (*nix) with `export PATH=".:$PATH" although it is a little bit of a security vulnerability and generally frowned upon.
