Well, if you modify PATH from the command line it will be lost when you end your current session. To make it stick, you need to modify the path in one of your login scripts (e.g. .bashrc or .bash_profile).

This statement confused me, because I don't know why that would be...

git-peek-remote

GIT-PEEK-REMOTE(1)						    Git Manual							GIT-PEEK-REMOTE(1)

NAME

       git-peek-remote - List the references in a remote repository

SYNOPSIS

       git peek-remote [--upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>] [<host>:]<directory>

DESCRIPTION

       This command is deprecated; use git ls-remote instead.

OPTIONS

       --upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>
	   Use this to specify the path to git-upload-pack on the remote side, if it is not found on your $PATH. Some installations of sshd
	   ignores the user's environment setup scripts for login shells (e.g. .bash_profile) and your privately installed git may not be found on
	   the system default $PATH. Another workaround suggested is to set up your $PATH in ".bashrc", but this flag is for people who do not
	   want to pay the overhead for non-interactive shells, but prefer having a lean .bashrc file (they set most of the things up in
	   .bash_profile).

       <host>
	   A remote host that houses the repository. When this part is specified, git-upload-pack is invoked via ssh.

       <directory>
	   The repository to sync from.
