To make the edited value of path persists in the next sessions   cd    touch  bash profile open  bash profile   That will open the  bash profile in editor  write inside the following after adding what you want to the path separating each value by column   export PATH  PATH  usr local git bin  usr local bin    Save  exit  restart your terminal and enjoy

Try placing  PATH at the end   export PATH  usr local git bin  usr local bin  PATH

export PATH  PATH  usr local git bin  usr local bin   One note  you don t need quotation marks here because it s on the right hand side of an assignment  but in general  and especially on Macs with their tradition of spacy pathnames  expansions like  PATH should be double-quoted as   PATH

In MAC OS Catalina   this are the steps that worked for me  all the above solutions did help but didn t solve my problem    check node --version  still the old one in use  cd     atom  bash profile Remove the  PATH pointing to old node version  in my case it was  usr local bin node  node8  Add  amp  save this to  PATH instead  export PATH  PATH  usr local git bin  usr local bin  Close all applications using node  terminal  simulator  browser expo etc  restart terminal and check node --version
