Bash `which` vs `type`

Raw

`which` vs `type`

which
- finds executable in your $PATH
- lives in /usr/bin/which
type
- determines if command is alias, function, built-in command, cached executable (hashed), binary in $PATH, etc
- shell builtin

You can use hash -r to remove the cached executable. So which and type will resync.
