How to remove a particular bin from path/auto-complete?

Question

I don't have sudo privileges on my work laptop and tmuxinator is installed, but I wish to use tmuxifier instead. I successfully installed the latter (without needing sudo by using git), but now, annoyingly, I can't type tmuxi, then hit Tab in the terminal and have it resolve to tmuxifier, as it's ambiguous.

tmuxinator is installed inside /usr/..., so I don't have permission to rename it.

What's the quickest/cleanest way to have tmuxi- resolve to tmuxifier without the ability to uninstall or move tmuxinator?

Answer 1

As @muru suggested, use the bash variable EXECIGNORE to ignore tmuxinator. Add it at the end of your .bashrc file with:

echo 'EXECIGNORE="*/tmuxinator:$EXECIGNORE"' >> ~/.bashrc

Then relaunch your terminal and you’re done.

Note: Here we append the $EXECIGNORE variable to not erase its content.
