I would like to force default execution to happen from my home directory.

However, regardless of what I try, it seems that the whereis utility finds programs to be in /bin instead of /home/user.

E.g. if I do

export PATH=.:$PATH

I can echo $PATH to see that this is indeed updated correctly.

However, if I now type ls, /bin/ls will still be executed. Indeed, when I look in whereis ls, I see that it finds ls in /bin/ls first, and then in /home/user/ls.

Why is that? How can I force it to use /home/user over /bin?

This is bash 4.4.12 on Debian 9.6.

  You probably just need to clear bash's hash cache. Also, whereis, which, etc. are external programs. Use type -a or command -v etc. instead, which are builtins.
