=46or example, if I run git using:

$ /usr/bin/git

then /usr/bin is prepended to the path. Is this intentional? If it is, =
why?

This causes issues with Ruby git hooks, because Ruby version managers=20
rely on custom settings in PATH to select the Ruby executable, and=20
there's usually a system Ruby living in /usr/bin. See=20
https://github.com/github/hub/issues/855 for an example.

Thanks a lot,
