Как найти файл bashrc - Исправление недочетов и поиск решений вместе с Examum.ru

I feel stupid asking, but I can’t seem to find the answer to this anywhere. I’m trying to follow these instructions to edit my bash prompt, but there is no .bashrc in either my user directory (~/.bashrc), or in my home directory, or in the main file system directory.

There is no .bashrc in /etc/ (there is a bash.bashrc, however).

Do I create a .bashrc file in my user or home directory? Is there a better, more recent set of instructions for modifying the bash prompt?

Don’t forget it is a hidden file inside your home directory (you would not be the first to do a ls -l and thinking it is not there).

Do a:

ls -la ~/ | more

There should be a .bashrc on the first page.
If not just create it with:

vi ~/.bashrc

and add in the lines you need to add into it.

Permissions of my .bashrc are:

-rw-r--r--  1 discworld discworld  3330 Mar 10 16:03 .bashrc

(chmod 644 .bashrc to make it rw r r).

User specific, hidden by default.

~/.bashrc

If not there simply create one.

System wide:

/etc/bash.bashrc

There is a .bashrc in every user’s home folder (99.99% of the time) as well as one system-wide (which I don’t know the location of in Ubuntu).

The quickest way to access it is nano ~/.bashrc from a terminal (replace nano with whatever you like to use).

If this is not present in a user’s home folder the system-wide .bashrc is used as a fallback as it is loaded before the user’s file. You could simply copy and paste it (with root permissions of course), but a .bashrc is not entirely essential (it may be required to make things work. I haven’t found out) at a user level as it mostly overrides the system-wide one with user-specific tweaks. You could write your own though.

The main components for that users may tweak are PS1 (the Bash prompt defaults to display user@localhost:pwd $) and aliases as well as setting a color prompt and maybe PS2 (busy state message).

Use gedit ~/.bashrc, it will allow you to modify ~/.bashrc using gedit.

It is hidden because of the ‘.’ it starts with.

list it with

ls -al

or enable «show hidden files» under the view menu in nautilus (Ctrl-H will also do the trick).

You can edit it with your favorite text editor from your home directory e.g.

cd

to go to your home directory then:

emacs .bashrc

If .bashrc is not in your home folder, even after you list the hidden files, you can copy it from:

/etc/skel/.bashrc

if not in home directory, you can just copy from /etc/bash.bashrc, and make it source for your terminal, by typing in your terminal source .bashrc from your home directory after copying.

Use nano ~/.bashrc to open and edit the .bashrc file. (This will create the file if it does not yet exist)

If you use encryption and work from the command line you might not see it as one need to mount the real home-dir first (in contrast to in the graphical UI where this is done automaticallu) by the command:

ecryptfs-mount-private

(I had the same question and stumbled upon this question; but found my answer in the readme instead)

Bashrc file is a hidden file inside the home directory. It is actually, give the path directions.

And those are wanted to edit .bashrc file, try this command gedit ~/.bashrc instead of this ~/.bashrc .

This command gedit ~/.bashrc directly take you to the text editor, where you can edit it easily, as you know.

answered Nov 2, 2021 at 16:58

Just one note: after you made your alias in bashrc, you need in your terminal to write following command in order that your aliases work:

source .bashrc

Personally, whenever I install Linux anew, I add some aliases finding an appropriate place in .bashrc
E.g.

#My aliases
alias shut='shutdown now'
alias x='exit'
alias update='sudo apt-get update'

Etc. You get the idea.

According to man bash:

When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a non-interactive shell with the —login option,
it first reads and executes commands from the file /etc/profile, if that file exists. After reading that file, it looks for
~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists and is readable.

~/.bash_profile
    The personal initialization file, executed for login shells

~/.bashrc
    The individual per-interactive-shell startup file

There is also /etc/bashrc (/etc/bash.bashrc in Debian-based Linux) which contains System wide functions and aliases. By default, this is set, even for non-interactive, non-login shells.

EDIT:

The tilde in the paths indicates the home directory of the currently logged in user. Bash is only able to use one of ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, or ~/.profile (per currently logged in user), in that order, for reading and executing commands. (Debian-based operating systems typically do not have ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login. They use the file ~/.profile. This file explains that it will be read and used unless ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login are created.

#~/.profile: executed by the command interpreter for login shells.

#This file is not read by bash(1), if ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login
exists.

Microsoft just introduced a Linux subsystem in its Windows 10 Anniversary Edition. The installation is pretty straight forward, but I could not locate bash files on Windows.

How does it work? What does ~ refer to in Windows? Where to find .bashrc?

Since the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, the location changed to:

C:UsersUSERNAMEAppDataLocalPackages{DIST}LocalStaterootfshome{LINUXUSER}

Where:

{DIST} is equal to CanonicalGroupLimited.UbuntuonWindows_79rhkp1fndgsc
{LINUXUSER} is the user for which you are looking for the .bashrc file

Just for anyone wondering that came here from Google.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, I check on google and it will be at C:UsersUSERNAMEAppDataLocalLxsshomeUSERNAME .

I tried and it works, in the cmd just type cd && dir *bashrc* /s it will locate the file, and in my case i see the line C:UsersUSERNAMEAppDataLocalLxsshomeUSERNAME but when I want to navigate it with the window browser it doesn’t work, but if you copy paste it, it works

I found it here.

Considering that you need to know where a file is located you can use the find command.
The syntax of the command is find {search-path} {file-names-to-search} {action-to-take}by default the action to take is printing the file name.
So if you are finding .bashrc file you can use find / -name .bashrc the bash will return you /home/yourusername/.bashrc

Also, if you want to access to your home directory you can use cd ~

Hope my answer will be helpful

just type
vi ~/.bashrc

and that should put you into the file where ever it is.
You can navigate there simply by doing cd ~
List all files with ls -a and you should be able to see it.

~ means that is user home folder, way like /home/%username%/

you can list files like ls -al and see .bashrc file.

Right now on WSL 2 you can find it under /home/{user_name} and the file is hidden.

You can access it from Ubuntu console by {text_editor} .bashrc

If you want to edit that in Windows just type in ubuntu console explorer.exe . and it opens the current folder and shows all hidden files.
It’s weird but works fine.

answered Oct 13, 2020 at 12:17

Other answers doesn’t work for me using WSL 2.

The LocalState folder contains a virtual disk so rootfs does not exist,

and AppDataLocal folder does not have the Lxss folder.

The solution for me is surprisingly simple:

wsl -u root

This will allow you to get into wsl as root.

From here, you have access to the whole linux.
Fix the .bashrc or anything you want.

Don’t screw up the root user.

I find my .bashrc file in:

/home/your_user_name

you can run cd /home/your_user_name or cd ~ should work as well

If you previously installed git bash for window, you may also find .bashrc file in your window user profile folder. In Linux subsystem, you may local the file under /mnt/c/Users/your_window_user_name/.bashrc However, modifying that file only works for git bash in window but not for the shell terminal of the Linux subsystem.

Note: my installation of the Ubuntu is 20.04 LTS straight from window store.

Я чувствую глупость, но я не могу найти ответ на это где угодно. Я пытаюсь выполнить эти инструкции, чтобы отредактировать мое приглашение bash, но нет .bashrc ни в моем каталоге пользователя (~/.bashrc), ни в моем домашнем каталоге, ни в главном каталоге файловой системы.

В /etc/ нет .bashrc (однако есть bash.bashrc).

Создать файл .bashrc в моем пользовательском или домашнем каталоге? Есть ли лучший, более свежий набор инструкций для изменения подсказки bash?

В домашней папке каждого пользователя (99.99% времени) есть .bashrc, а также одна системная (я не знаю, где находится Ubuntu).

Самый быстрый способ доступа к ней — nano ~/.bashrc с терминала (замените nano на то, что вы хотите использовать).

Если этого нет в домашней папке пользователя, используется общесистемная .bashrc как резерв, когда он загружается перед файлом пользователя. Вы можете просто скопировать и вставить его (конечно, с правами root), но .bashrc не является абсолютно необходимым (может потребоваться, чтобы все работало, я не обнаружил) на уровне пользователя, поскольку он в основном переопределяет общесистемный с пользовательскими настройками. Вы можете написать свой собственный, хотя.

Основными компонентами для этих пользователей могут быть PS1 (приглашение Bash по умолчанию отображает user@localhost:pwd $) и псевдонимы, а также установку цветового приглашения и, возможно, (сообщение состояния занятости).

Он скрыт из-за . начинается с имени файла. Перечислите его с помощью

ls -al

или включите «Показать скрытые файлы» в меню просмотра в nautilus (Ctrl-H также выполнит трюк).

Вы можете редактировать его с помощью любимый текстовый редактор из вашего домашнего каталога, например cd, чтобы перейти в ваш домашний каталог:

emacs .bashrc

Если вы используете шифрование и работаете из командной строки, вы можете не видеть его, поскольку сначала необходимо установить реальный домашний каталог (в отличие от графического интерфейса, где это делается automaticallu) командой: [!d0 ]

ecryptfs-mount-private
