Nichts ist wichtiger als ein Backup der Config-Dateien. Eine der wichtigsten ist die ~/.bashrc. Immerwieder verfeinert und auf die eigenen Ansprüche angepasst wächst sie über Jahre hinweg mit. Diese zu verlieren ist mehr als ärgerlich. Darum hier meine persönliche .bashrc zur Anpassung der Konsole unter Linux mit Kommentaren:
# ~/.bashrc: executed by bash(1) for non-login shells. # see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files (in the package bash-doc) # for examples # If not running interactively, don't do anything [ -z "$PS1" ] && return # don't put duplicate lines in the history.
