New kali linux terminal starts with a bash error:
bash: ‘export: command not found
I think I messed up my bash environment when workin on a jsnode installation and do not know how to fix it.
I think I need to fix my environment variable, but do not know where that is in Kali. Appreciate any help.
There seems to be a typo in a command. It should be export but instead it's ‘export. The errant character is Unicode U+2018, LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK.
The first place to look is your .bashrc, then depending on your OS, .profile or .bash_profile, then any number of other Bash startup scripts that might get called like .bash_functions, or higher up the chain like /etc/bash.bashrc.

I have registered some linux machines intro AD with sssd and it works great, but I have an issue with the bash prompt. Some AD usernames start with $ and the prompt refuses to display it, so now I'm left with the string similar to #servername:~$
If I do an export PS1="\$USER#\H" it gets displayed correctly.
Any ideas on how to make bash prompt either escape the special character, or make sssd edit the bashrc with the "correct" format?
This is more of a Linux configuration question and would work better in unix.stackexchange.com or askubuntu, but generally to change default user configuration you'd want to edit the files in /etc/skel.

To clarify, when entering the default shell in OS X it appears as:
pcname:~ username$
and changing directories appears as:
pcname:myFolder~ username$
however, in my experience with linux distros, the shell appears as:
username#pcname:~$
what is the purpose for the differences in syntax?
What I do is the following: On the system that has the promt the way I want it, I type:
echo $PS1
I copy the result, say, \u#\h \w\a \$ and then edit the ~/.bashrc on the system that I want to use with the line:
export PS1="\u#\h \w\a \$ "
And then I get the same prompt on that system as well.

Is it possible to substitute binary with same name alternative? I have /usr/bin/qtcreator
I want to use alternative version but /usr/bin/qtcreator is binary but not alternative.
What the way I should do this?
You could place your new qtcreator at /usr/local/bin/qtcreator, that location should have preference over /usr/bin.
You can check the possible locations for binaries and the order is which they are searched with echo $PATH and you can check which binary will be called with which qtcreator
In Bash:
$ alias qtcreator="/usr/local/bin/qtcreator"
or make sure the path to desired binary is mentioned before the undesired path in $PATH (... as mentioned by others).

Your system has 2 versions of the same utility installed, both which have the same filename.
How would you find out where the utility you would run by default is located?
If the utility's file name is "foo", type which foo
You'are looking for which command
which - shows the full path of (shell) commands.
Let's say you have perl installed in /usr/bin/perl and /usr/local/bin/perl and if the default path is the second one then
$ which perl
/usr/bin/local/perl
Check the $PATH.
echo $PATH
The first is started default.
or
which
Similar to which , whence gives you whence command from Korn Shell tells how a name would be interpreted by the shell: it detects commands and aliases, and searches your path.
whence {executable-you-are-looking-for}
and also in linux, just typing name & hitting tab will show list of available versions with which you can run.

I just switched my shell from bash to zsh and I noticed that zsh is not using same version of vim that I use in bash. Wondering why that might be the case? Do I need to set some config?
EDIT
remove other stuffs
You either have defined an alias for vim in one of them, or the value of the PATH variable is different.
