You can just add the following to .bash_profile and the .bashrc file will work as above:

if[ -f “$HOME/.bashrc” ] ; then
source $HOME/.bashrc
fi

Thanks for the additional info Scott.

This, plus the initial info from David (and T13E) has saved me so much time!

Great tip, Scott! I didn’t realize that but it makes perfect sense 🙂

source .bash_profile

and the file will reload.

if [ -f ~/.bash_aliases ]; then
. ~/.bash_aliases
fi

All aliases are stored in that file.
