Linux Bashrc Vimrc

In Linux there is a hidden file in your home directory named ".bashrc" which contains your profile settings. Below are some of my tweaks. In MAC OS update or create the ".profile" in your home directory.

# add color to my prompt
force_color_prompt=yes

# aliases for ls
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
# MAC OS
# alias ls='ls -G'


# red username@hostname purple working dir \n prompt
export PS1='\e[0;31m[\u@\H] \e[0;35m[\w] \n\e[0;32m->\$ \e[m'


# make vi default
export EDITOR=vim

# Fix my PATH
PATH=.:$PATH

# make grep highlight a light shade
export GREP_OPTIONS='--color=auto' GREP_COLOR='100'


# don't put duplicate lines in the history. See bash(1) for more options
# ... or force ignoredups and ignorespace
HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth

# for setting history length see HISTSIZE and HISTFILESIZE in bash(1)
HISTSIZE=2000
HISTFILESIZE=2000

Vimrc

The hidden vimrc file is not always there by default.

In the terminal.

$ cd ~

$ vim .vimrc

Add the lines..
