bashrc file is a script file that’s executed when a user logs in. The file itself contains a series of configurations for the terminal session. This includes setting up or enabling: coloring, completion, shell history, command aliases, and more. It is a hidden file and simple ls command won’t show the file.
What is Bashrc used for?
The purpose of a . bashrc file is to provide a place where you can set up variables, functions and aliases, define your (PS1) prompt and define other settings that you want to use every time you open a new terminal window. It works by being run each time you open up a new terminal, window or pane.
Where is Bashrc in Linux?
There is a . bashrc in every user’s home folder (99.99% of the time) as well as one system-wide (which I don’t know the location of in Ubuntu). The quickest way to access it is nano ~/. bashrc from a terminal (replace nano with whatever you like to use).
