Add to .bash_profile on OS X instead of .bashrc

Open daylen opened this issue 10 years ago • 2 comments

By default the Mac OS X Terminal uses .bash_profile, not .bashrc. The installation script should concatenate to .bash_profile so that users don't have to change it manually.

Oh, you are right. I have the following at the top of my .bash_profile: "source ~/.bashrc" But we can't expect everyone else to do that.

Don't other consoles use .[name]rc? So we can't just change it to .[name]_profile without some contextual intelligence there.
