What is the bash_profile
bash is a shell: a command interpreter. The main purpose of bash is to allow you to interact with the computer's operating system so that you can accomplish whatever you need to do, "bash_profile" is a configuration file for the bash shell.
A cool common bash_profile
The idea is to share best practices, suggestions, tricks and keep the same profile across multiple development platforms easily cloning from the repository that we can share across projects and working stations we control, making the interface more familiar or maybe just take few shortcuts and create your own custom one. Hopefully, you will find some of them useful.
running: git-log2, git-log3 and git-log4 alliases
System Operation versions
MAC version:
A typical install of OSX won't create a .bash_profile for you.
When you want to run functions from your command line, this is a must-have.
Setup
MAC version setup
Startup Terminal
Type: "cd ~/" to go to your home folder
Type: "touch .bash_profile" to create your new file.
Edit: .bash_profile with your favorite editor (or you can just type "open -e .bash_profile" to open it in TextEdit.
Type: ". .bash_profile" to reload .bash_profile and update any functions you add (reload by the system)
Commands and alliases:
edit bash_profile
open -e ~/.bash_profile
if you don't have this file, create it!
touch ~/.bash_profile
paste the bash_profile
reload profile
. ~/.bash_profile
// from now on we will use the bash_profile
To edit: "edit_profile"
to reload: "reload_profile" (reload by using bash_profile)
Windows version setup:
Note: Use double quotes instead of a single one.
git config --global alias.ci "commit -v"
git config --global alias.log "log --pretty=oneline"
git config --global alias.log1 "log --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset' --abbrev-commit"
Ready to go
The commands you see there will map 1:1 to other UNIX-based development environments (e.g. Linux or the Windows 10 Linux Bash Shell).
running: network allias
Be aware that in some cases, the specific commands for a specific platform are slightly different from the commands I used. Now we ready to go, all we need to do is open the bash file and paste the content from the bash_file:

I have a few comments:
It's not going to load
.bash_profileon a lot of systems, depending on where you are and what you're doing (.bashrcmight be used instead).You don't need to create a file before you edit it (if you leave this step out it's less for people to learn).
It looks like your "Windows version setup" is
gitconfiguration - did you paste this in from an article from your blog or something? On Windows it would be using WSL or Cygwin orgit bash. I have no experience of the latter, so I don't know what I'm talking about!If you run
clearright at the start, then it makes the screen neat, but it means you miss any warnings or errors that might have appeared as the shell started up.Why do you want it to beep (
tput bel) every time your open a new shell?What's
$dir? in thenpmsection? It's never defined; is that a placeholder for us to fill in? I'd set it to"$HOME/.npm"or something.alias='$EDITOR ~/.bashrc ; source ~/.bashrc'sets a variable calledalias, which you never use (and it'd be a weird name!) so I think that's missing an alias name. You have this covered in your "profile" section later, anyway.These files can get pretty long, and it's common to split out things like aliases to another file:
Recently I've started calling this file
.aliasesand sharing it betweenzshandbashso it works on any of my usual environments. Aliases are rarely shell-specific.Your "Change prompt" section doesn't do anything with the prompt - it's more like a MOTD section - and it uses variables that aren't available as standard (
"${COLOR_BROWN}"). It's a useful bunch of stats for you - I'd put it into a script or function instead so you can call it whenever you want.Almost all your aliases are Mac-specific. I'd divide them up into Mac-only and portable. You said this is for Windows as well, you can split up with something like this:
You probably shouldn't alias
.:This shadows the
.(source) command, so you'll no longer be able to do things like. ~/.bash_profileto reload your profile!I really appretiate your feedback, I will be working with it to improve this post.
Thanks again. It is updated.
