Shell Bash Check if Environment Exist
Your provided code snippet appears to be a Bash script that checks if the TARGET_PATH
environment variable is empty and, if so, sets it to ~/go
by appending an export statement to the .bashrc
file. This is a common technique to ensure that environment variables are set with default values if they are not already defined.
Here’s a breakdown of what the code does:
-
if [[ -z "${TARGET_PATH}" ]]; then
: This line checks if theTARGET_PATH
environment variable is empty (i.e., its value is not set). The-z
flag is used to test if a string is empty.
