Windows PATH 在 Git Bash 中似乎已损坏

Question

I installed MySQL and wanted to see if it worked well, testing it on Git Bash (the course told me to do so). The code I had to write was the following one: export PATH=/c/Program Files/MySQL/MySQL Server 8.0/bin/:$PATH .

The main issue is that every time I open again Git Bash there are several lines saying not a valid identifier . I can't provide an image as I'm new, but one of the examples might be:

bash: export: `Corporation/NVIDIA': not a valid identifier

Although I deleted Git Bash and reinstalled again, the problem persists. Does anyone know how to fix that on Windows?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Because the path contains spaces, it needs to be quoted:

export PATH="/c/Program Files/MySQL/MySQL Server 8.0/bin/:$PATH"

You need to change this in whatever file you originally wrote this line in; it's probably named .bashrc or .bash_profile and can be found in your home directory (typically c:\\Users\\YourUsername ).
