[FIXED] MAMP PRO 6 command line shortcut not working

Issue

Hello and thank you for taking your time to read this! Now to get straight to the point, I am using MAMP PRO 6 for school and recently we had to install Composer through the terminal. Upon closer inspection php -v revealed that I am not using the MAMP's php version with Xdebug but rather the pre-installed php version that comes with macOS. I have enabled Activate command line shortcuts for the selected PHP version, pear & pecl but this is not working. I'm on the latest Big Sur update and looking for a possible fix.

MAMP PRO is working with the exception of command line shortcut.

Solution

The issue is that my .profile is not being loaded automatically , current workaround is doing source ~/.profile and then confirming the location and version with which php and php -v.
