CLI installer inappropriately updates my bash_profile

See original GitHub issue

I’ve run the amplify installer script a few times. Now, in my ~/.bash_profile I see:

jhwill@9801a7a9c383:~$ cat ~/.bash_profile 
. ~/.bashrc


# Added by Amplify CLI binary installer
export PATH="$HOME/.amplify/bin:$PATH"

# Added by Amplify CLI binary installer
export PATH="$HOME/.amplify/bin:$PATH"

# Added by Amplify CLI binary installer
export PATH="$HOME/.amplify/bin:$PATH"

# Added by Amplify CLI binary installer
export PATH="$HOME/.amplify/bin:$PATH"

It should either not update my dot files, or it should ensure only one entry is present.

@jamesonwilliams Once you have installed the packaged CLI once, you should use amplify upgrade to install newer versions. This command will not add duplicates to your bash_profile. However, we can add some logic to prevent the duplicates
