Linux Mint Helena: what happened to bashrc??

February 3rd, 2010 by ae

For some reason my version of Mint Helena does not create a bashrc file in my home directory…????

Instead there is a default one being used, found here: /etc/bash.bashrc

To add aliases and what not for my user account I added the following to this file:


# Added by ae - load aliases if they exist
if [ -f ~/.bash_aliases ]; then
. ~/.bash_aliases
fi

    If only I could understand what you were saying…. :-)

    Not all installations create all files for you.

    There is nothing saying you can’t create the file yourself if needed.

    It all comes down to what the distro has set up as a “template” for a new user account. Some don’t even use THAT :)

    @tommy – the thing is that they have changed the default process from the two upstream providers, debian and ubuntu. I dont like change in my home directory… it makes me uncomfortable :)
