Hi community,

is it possible to edit the contents of the _Base.load\_path()_?  
Appending a new load path to it works, but it leaves the old one remaining, while overwriting the load path deletes also the other two entries.  
My goal is to edit individually both the _load path directory_ and the _project toml file directory_. The reason is I am on a HPC cluster and these entries currently show to a public directory instead of my private one.  
Many thanks, stay safe

How are you appending to a function?

In any case, `LOAD_PATH` is a plain vanilla vector, so you can `empty!` it and then `push!` items.
