.bashrc

# --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# the following is an example of a useful ".bashrc" files - it has been influenced by many flavors of UNIX and Linux.
# this bashrc file will work for Linux MINT, Ubuntu, Debian, SuSE and RedHat.  etc....
#
# to adjust for your version, test the commands and adjust the paths, e.g.  "which mkdir" - and correct the path.
# the prompt should display your USERname, hostname and the directory you are in.
# all commands are written to a history file based on the date, if you have multiple shells open you might
# add another identifier such as minutes to write to different files.  be aware of the aliases, you can override
# them at the command line by fully resolving the commands.  The aliases should not work in a script.
