What's in your /home/.bashrc

[craigevil]

Keeping in the spirit of "Whats in your inputrc and other similar threads"

$cat .bashrc
alias ls='ls --color=auto'

# enable bash completion in interactive shells
if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ] && ! shopt -oq posix; then
. /etc/bash_completion
fi
### Added by surfraw. To remove use surfraw-update-path -remove
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/surfraw
### End surfraw addition.


The surfraw part allows you to type google foo or any other elvi without having to type sr or surfraw first.

Found this some time ago. I always paste it at the end of /root/.bashrc so the root prompt is a distinct color (red here) instead of the standard green in my home .bashrc
Not rocket science, but it makes me think before executing commands as root.

Code: Select all

TERM_USER_HOST_COLOR='0;31m'
TERM_PATH_COLOR='0;31m'
TERM_PROMPT_COLOR='m'


TERM_USER_HOST='\u@\h'
TERM_PATH='\w'
TERM_PROMPT='\$'


export PS1=\
'\[\e['${TERM_USER_HOST_COLOR}'\]'${TERM_USER_HOST}'\[\e[m\]'\
' \[\e['${TERM_PATH_COLOR}'\]'${TERM_PATH}'\[\e[m\]'\

It turns out that you can't delete a post.

I have a couple 'borrowed' from other sources:

# create a Terminal Calculator
function calc()
{
echo "${1}"|bc -l;
}

and

# decompress any file
function decom () {
if [ -f $1 ] ; then
case $1 in
*.tar.bz2) tar xjf $1 ;;
*.tar.gz) tar xzf $1 ;;
*.bz2) bunzip2 $1 ;;
*.rar) rar x $1 ;;
*.gz) gunzip $1 ;;
*.tar) tar xf $1 ;;
*.tbz2) tar xjf $1 ;;
*.tgz) tar xzf $1 ;;
*.zip) unzip $1 ;;
*.Z) uncompress $1 ;;
*.7z) 7z x $1 ;;
*) echo "'$1' cannot be extracted via extract()" ;;
esac
else
echo "'$1' is not a valid file"
fi
}


Regards.

Nice!

I just have:

Code: Select all

alias x='startx /usr/bin/startxfce4'
alias xo='startx /usr/bin/openbox-session'
alias xf='startx /usr/bin/startfluxbox'

in addition to the default gubbery.
