When I run which -a psql the result shows three same paths.

/usr/local/bin/psql
/usr/local/bin/psql
/usr/local/bin/psql

I can run the command psql without a problem. I just want to know why this kind of behavior occurs. Have I misconfigured something?

Does /usr/local/bin/ appear more than once in your $PATH? – steeldriver Apr 26 '20 at 01:46

@steeldriver Thanks! That was the cause of the behavior. – ironsand Apr 26 '20 at 01:52
