That is a terrible idea. Never put relative paths inside your PATH. At best it's a security risk, at worst, it will cause things to actually fail. The shell tries to cache what programs are available when it runs, but this will not work right when things in PATH are relative. Everything inside PATH must be an absolute path!
Second, there's a reason the current directory is not included for running executables. It's not "missing", it's on purpose. It's to prevent people from dumping malign files into a folder you frequent and having you accidentally run them.
If you want to add your own scripts to the PATH, put them in /home/myusername/bin and add /home/myusername/bin to your PATH.

DESCRIPTION
gresource offers a simple commandline interface to GResource. It lets you list and extract resources that have been compiled into a
resource file or included in an elf file (a binary or a shared library).
The file to operate on is specified by the FILE argument.
If an elf file includes multiple sections with resources, it is possible to select which one to operate on with the --section option. Use
the sections command to find available sections.
COMMANDS
list
Lists resources. If SECTION is given, only list resourcs in this section. If PATH is given, only list matching resources.
details
Lists resources with details. If SECTION is given, only list resources in this section. If PATH is given, only list matching resources.
Details include the section, size and compression of each resource.
extract
Extracts the resource named by PATH to stdout. Note that resources may contain binary data.
sections
Lists sections containing resources. This is only interesting if FILE is an elf file.
