macOS Help, Terminal messed up

[gussic]

Hi All, Having major issues with terminal after trying to get the command 'subl' to open Sublime can someone help please?

Did some reading in other thread about commands to run but i can't figure out what is wrong or how to fix it, see below

I'm going to say you have a messed up .bashrc or .bash_profile file. Reveal hidden items in Finder (IE, by using Tinker Tool) and then look for a file named one of those underneath your home directory.

How do I fix it?

How do I fix it?

1. Launch Terminal.app. Then copy and paste the following into a Terminal window:

/bin/mkdir ~/bad
/bin/mv ~/.bash_profile ~/.bash_login ~/.profile ~/.bashrc ~/bad

There may be an error message.
Post the complete output within CODE tags.

2. Quit Terminal.app, then relaunch it. Copy and paste the following into a Terminal window:

/bin/ls -la ~ ~/bad ; echo ; echo "$PATH"

Post the output here, including all output, error messages, etc.
Put the output within CODE tags.

3. Explain where you read or obtained the commands, instructions, etc. that lead to the problem.


The above does two things: it moves the problematic shell-profile files into a newly created directory named 'bad', it then lists the complete contents of your home directory and the 'bad' directory, and also shows the value of PATH.

After doing the above, and having a chance to read your output, I will suggest other commands. But I really need to see the output and the results before proceeding. I also need to know exactly what rvm and subl are supposed to do, and for that I need to know the original instructions you followed that led to the conditions you're in.

Great answer, and it makes me chuckle that you're providing terminal help given your username

I also need to know exactly what rvm and subl are supposed to do, and for that I need to know the original instructions you followed that led to the conditions you're in.

RVM is Ruby Version Manager, it basically lets you setup a specific Ruby environment per project, and when you cd into the directory, it runs some path configurations and ENV setup (so you can run several different setups across projects). subl is the Sublime Text command line option. It sounds like they were trying to setup their machine to do some Ruby coding, likely setting up Rails.
