If you are currently in a PowerShell session and want to add the current folder to your User PATH permanently:
The PATH variable is an environment variable that contains a list of directories where the operating system or command-line interface searches for executable files, such as programs, scripts, and commands. When a user types a command or runs a program, the system looks for the executable file in the directories listed in the PATH variable. If the executable file is found, it is executed; otherwise, an error message is displayed. add to path
"Add to Path" means appending a new directory or location to the existing PATH variable. This allows the system to search for executable files in the newly added directory. When a user adds a directory to the PATH , they are telling the system to look for executable files in that directory, in addition to the existing directories already listed in the PATH variable.
