Which shell profile does the Line installer change?

FAQUpdated

The installer looks at your login shell ($SHELL) and adds one PATH line, marked with a # Line CLI comment:

ShellFile changed
zsh~/.zshrc
bash on macOS~/.bash_profile and ~/.bashrc
bash on Linux~/.bashrc
fish~/.config/fish/conf.d/line.fish
anything else~/.profile

It doesn't add the line twice: if the # Line CLI marker is already there, it skips that file. If it can't write a file, it prints the line for you to add by hand.

To stop the installer changing any profile, run it with LINE_NO_MODIFY_PATH=1.
