.bashrc file

⬅️ Back to README.md

Why?

Since I currently have to use windows without WSL at work. I heavily rely on git bash to get a more unix-like experience. Thus, I have a .bashrc file in my home directory to set up some aliases and customizations.

I thought it would be a good idea to document it here as the setup could change over time.

Setup

Downloads

Clone this repo to your workspace directory:

git clone  https://github.com/AmnezziaCS/dotfiles.git ~/Documents/dev/dotfiles

Files

Create a symlink to the .bashrc, .bash_profile and .inputrc files in this repo:

mklink "C:\Users\${USERNAME}\.bashrc" "C:\${PATH_TO_THIS_REPO}\bash\.bashrc"
mklink "C:\Users\${USERNAME}\.bash_profile" "C:\${PATH_TO_THIS_REPO}\bash\.bash_profile"
mklink "C:\Users\${USERNAME}\.inputrc" "C:\${PATH_TO_THIS_REPO}\bash\.inputrc"

Terminal

Do not forget to create a windows terminal profile. The commandline arg should be set at "commandline": "%PROGRAMFILES%\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe -l -i". The icon can be set to ./medias/git-bash-icon.png.

Documentation

The setup I used can be found in this article.
