The ~/.bashrc
file determines the
behavior of interactive shells. A good look at this file can
lead to a better understanding of Bash.
Emmanuel
Rouat contributed the following very elaborate
.bashrc
file, written for a Linux system.
He welcomes reader feedback on it.
Study the file carefully, and feel free to reuse code
snippets and functions from it in your own
.bashrc
file or even in your scripts.

If you use a white background, #+ you'll have to do some other choices for readability. # # This bashrc file is a bit overcrowded. # Remember, it is just an example. # Tailor it to your needs. # # =============================================================== # # --> Comments added by HOWTO author. # If not running interactively, don't do anything [ -z "$PS1" ] && return #------------------------------------------------------------- # Source global definitions (if any) #------------------------------------------------------------- if [ -f /etc/bashrc ];
