Very comprehensive .bashrc file for your Linux system.


Complex .bashrc file for Linux or UNIX

Very good and very complex .bashrc file for a Linux or UNIX system. I used this one ages ago and it is great to use. I have tried this on FreeBSD and Open Solaris and it works on either.

#!/bin/bash
# mode:shell-script
# sh-shell:bash
# Modified to work on Open Solaris. Much better than FreeBSD.
# There are still problems with ls but I am working on that.
# Bejiitas Wrath ~/.bashrc.
