$env:Path                             # shows the actual content
$env:Path = 'C:\foo;' + $env:Path     # attach to the beginning
$env:Path += ';C:\foo'                # attach to the end
  • replace powershell path update with , eg:
    $env:PATH += ";C:\Users_/.local/opt/go/bin"

I'd just assumed that if you were experienced enough to know to use PowerShell you'd also be experienced enough to know how to translate cmd.exe PATH to PowerShell PATH.

It's not possible to auto-detect which shell you're running it from between cmd.exe and powershell / pwsh.

Perhaps we could update the message to output both always.
