Debootrap: Non-interactive shell expand PATH variable
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I installed debian using debootstrap (debootstrap --arch=amd64 stretch /target http://httpredir.debian.org/debian). When I check my PATH variable i get:
ssh git@srv 'echo $PATH'
/usr/bin:/bin
How can I expand it and include e.g. /usr/local/bin?
/etc/passwd:
git:x:108:112:git version control,,,:/home/git:/bin/sh
I already tried the following approaches, but without success because these files are only read for interactive shells. Thanks for advices.
echo 'export PATH="/usr/a1:$PATH"' >> /etc/profile
echo 'PATH="/usr/a2:$PATH"' >> /etc/environment
echo 'export PATH="/usr/a3:$PATH"' >> /home/git/.profile
chown git:git /home/git/.profile
echo 'export PATH="/usr/a4:$PATH"' >> /home/git/.bashrc
chown git:git /home/git/.bashrc
echo 'PATH="/usr/a5:$PATH"' >> /home/git/.ssh/rc
chown git:git /home/git/.ssh/rc
echo 'export PATH="/usr/a6:$PATH"' >> /home/git/.ssh/environment
chown git:git /home/git/.ssh/environment

SSH commands like this are not affected by login or interactive environment variables.
This question is similar to the one asked here:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/332532/how-to-set-path-when-running-a-ssh-command
Try like this:
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin" >> ~/.ssh/environment

That's a command that you run on any shell. You need to add it to your ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc file if you want it to load automatically.

You can execute commands in a login shell on the remote host, which will process your shell config files (e.g. ~/.profile, etc):
ssh user@host 'exec $SHELL -l -c "echo $PATH; commmand; another-command"'
Depending on what you are trying to do, might need to tell ssh to create a pseudo-tty:
ssh user@host -t 'exec $SHELL -l -c "command-that-needs-tty"'
