Dotfiles

This repository contains my personal configuration files for bash. These dotfiles help to set up a consistent development environment across different systems.

Files Included

• .profile: Executed by the command interpreter for login shells. Includes .bashrc if it exists and sets the PATH to include user's private bin directories.
• .bashrc: Executed by bash for non-login shells. Configures bash history, prompt, and enables color support for ls and other commands.

Installation

To use these configuration files, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository to your home directory:

   git clone https://github.com/sohamw03/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles

2. Backup your existing dotfiles:

   mv ~/.profile ~/.profile_backup
   mv ~/.bashrc ~/.bashrc_backup

3. Create symbolic links to the new dotfiles:

   ln -s ~/dotfiles/.profile ~/.profile
   ln -s ~/dotfiles/.bashrc ~/.bashrc

4. Reload your shell:

   source ~/.profile
   source ~/.bashrc

Usage

These dotfiles will automatically configure your bash environment upon login or when opening a new terminal session. You can customize them further by editing the files in the repository.
