To run a script your OS will look through directories in your $PATH. Rather than adding your script to folders containing low level utilities such as ls or cd, I would suggest making your own personal directory.

cd ~ and mkdir scripts

Since macOS has switched to ZSH as it's default shell, we will edit .zshrc, typically found here: /Users/<your_username>/.zshrc. Not sure what your username is? Run whoami in your terminal.

Chances are all it currently contains is something along the lines of:
export PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH

If thats the case, you're in good shape! Add the following line below:
path+=(/Users/<your_username>/scripts)

Save the file, and run source ~/.zshrc.

Last but not least, once you add a script to the scripts folder, navigate into your scripts folder and run chmod +x <filename> to mark the script as executable.
