This directory contains some useful bash files. In order to use this configuration: echo "source ~/.bashrc" > ~/.profile echo "source /usr/share/init/bash/rc" > ~/.bashrc echo "source /usr/share/init/bash/login" > ~/.login In order to customize this setup: mkdir ~/Library/init/bash and create the following files there as necessary: aliases.mine - shell aliases completions.mine - completions environment.mine - environment rc.mine - run commands path - command search path See the corresponding file in /usr/share/init/bash for more information about the role of each file. You can easily extend or override the configuration provided by the default file. For example, you can add more aliases by adding the appropriate commands in aliases.mine. -Fred tritan@mit.edu
