I'm glad it worked and it sounds like you're on the right track with calling scripts from directories in your $PATH.

Awesome, thank you!
In my case it was the .zprofile (on macOS Sonoma) and this did it. :)
I remembered the steps from Linux while following your steps, but that's years ago and I wouldn't have remembered it without your help:
I basically added 'username/bin' as a global callable directory by following your steps, so that I can call the script (scripts in general which are in any directoty listed in " echo "$PATH" | tr : '\n' ") from everywhere just by writing brewup. Right?
So again: Thank you. :)
Best regards Q
