I made a folder called bin in /home/USER/bin on this, I created a file called hello ( for example) with this code:
#!/bin/bash echo My first program
I did execute export PATH=$PATH":$HOME/bin" and then $ . ~/.bashrc, but when I restarted the PATH is restored to default.
How can I resolve it?
Thank you!

The user bin directory should already be added to your path by the ~/.profile script.
# set PATH so it includes user's private bin directories PATH="$HOME/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
Did you add the export line to your ~/.bashrc file?
export PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
