Sync Your Shell PATH to macOS GUI Apps Manually with This Script

The Problem

Are you struggling with macOS GUI applications (like IDEs, text editors, or other tools launched from Finder or Spotlight) not finding command-line tools installed via Homebrew (/opt/homebrew/bin), MacPorts, or in custom directories like ~/bin or /usr/local/bin? This happens because GUI applications on macOS do not automatically inherit the PATH environment variable set by your login shell configuration files (like .zshenv, .zprofile, .bash_profile, or .bashrc). Your carefully configured shell PATH works in the Terminal, but GUI apps remain unaware of it.

The Solution

This Bash script provides a simple, manual way to apply the PATH from your current Terminal session to the macOS GUI environment. Instead of complex automatic synchronization, you run this script whenever you want to update the PATH that GUI applications will use.

I'll complete the text with the process management information:

This script performs DNS TXT record lookups once per minute for 24 hours straight. Each lookup uses a unique random name in the format 'delver-xxxxxxxx'.

Requirements

Python 3.x
Your computer must stay awake the entire time (disable sleep/hibernate)
Internet connection for the full 24 hours
