I use custom organization of my .bashrc and .bash_profile i.e. my “dotfiles”. Its great to keep all of my aliases clean and organized. I highly recommend Peepcode’s Advanced Command Line for more info on configuring your own set of custom dotfiles.
The one thing I always forget how to do whenever I move to a new computer or hard-drive is to set up the correct files and set up the proper sourcing, so here is my shorthand note to my future self.
# First copy files to ~/bin/dotfiles
# Open bashrc
mate ~/.bashrc
# Paste this in
```
source ~/bin/dotfiles/bashrc
```
# Open bash_profile
mate ~/.bash_profile
# Paste this in
```
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
source ~/.bashrc
fi
