If it sources .bashrc it arguably contains Bash-specific code (the existence of the .bashrc file is Bash-specific). I recommend renaming your .profile to .bash_profile since you're using it in a Bash-specific way. Or, put generic code in .profile and create a .bash_profile that sources .profile and .bashrc. | |

| May 27, 2014 at 10:28 | comment | added | Michael Durrant | This is my approach. This way I can maintain a .bashrc that works on both systems... and I can put any mac specific stuff or stuff like aliases that are only for work (where I use the mac the most) in my .bash_profile file. | |
