TIL you can inspect a CLI command using the type <cmd> CLI command.

I usually use which <cmd> to verify this but type provides a human-readable description/comment of the command.

Here’s an example from my terminal:

$ type openai-env
openai-env is a shell function from /Users/<user>/.zshrc

$ which openai-env
openai-env () {
	export $(cat $PYTHON_PROJECT_PATH/.env)
}

I learned this from Julia Evans’ recent comic strip on PATH
