Repo for my personal .bashrc file and related files (.bash_aliases, etc). Several years of accumulated cruft so don't take this as an example.

Installation

Recursively clone this repo into something like ~/dotfiles/dotbashrc, and symlink the dotfiles to the corresponding files in your home directory:

mkdir -p ~/dotfiles
cd ~/dotfiles
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/fardaniqbal/dotbashrc
# Or git clone --recurse-submodules git@github.com:fardaniqbal/dotbashrc.git
# to clone through ssh.

ln -s dotfiles/dotbashrc/.bashrc ~/.bashrc
ln -s dotfiles/dotbashrc/.bash_profile ~/.bash_profile

Optionally, if you're using GNU ls but you don't like the colors it uses by default, then you can symlink one of the files in this repo's dircolors directory to ~/.dircolors. For example:

ln -s dotfiles/dotbashrc/dircolors/solarized.ansi-universal ~/.dircolors

See also

• My personal .inputrc: controls how bash interprets user input (e.g., emacs-vs-vi key bindings, case-(in-)sensitive completion, etc). Although this file is obviously relevant to bash's UX, I keep it in a seperate repo because it affects the UX of all programs that use the readline library, including but not limited to bash.
