title: The system does not store the path which I have set in .bash_profile
body: <p>I have placed this line in my .bash_profile. </p>
  
  <pre><code>export PATH="$PATH:/Users/margrietpronk/Developer/flutter/bin"
  ~                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
  ~                                                                                                             
  ".bash_profile" 1L, 63C

  <p>Every time I restart my Mac, the path is not there. When I add this path manually, by the same command, then the path is known.</p>
  
  <p>without adding it manually, when I put in echo $path, it shows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Margrietje@iMac-van-MG ~ % echo $path
  /usr/local/bin /usr/bin /bin /usr/sbin /sbin
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>when I add the command manually, it says:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Margrietje@iMac-van-MG ~ % echo $path                                                    
  /usr/local/bin /usr/bin /bin /usr/sbin /sbin /Users/margrietpronk/Developer/flutter/bin
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then the path is working.
  How can I fix this? I thought it has to do with the name "Margrietje" before the @ ???</p>
