I was following this tutorial when i came across something unusual... a .bash_profile I do not know what this is or where to find it also this whole step just generally confuses me.

Here's my .bash_profile and .bashrc if you want something else to play with.

I've removed some sensitive info from my bashrc, but it's mostly intact. There are a number of very handy aliases for common commands (e.g. ll for ls -l, la instead of ls -a, bye instead of exit or logout). Also, by editing the value in quotes next to PS1 you can have the prompt display whatever name you like. Be sure to un comment it before you save.

The profile offers some handy features like color coding. Put these in a plain text file and rename each one to put a "." in front of the name, and place them in your home folder. Exit the shell and restart it, and you should see the effects.

Feel free to edit them to your needs!

.bashrc

Code:

# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
	. /etc/bashrc
fi

# User specific aliases and functions

alias a=alias
alias la='ls -a'
alias ll='ls -lt'
alias ls='echo $PWD; ls'

alias rm='rm -i'
alias cp='cp -i'
alias mv='mv -i'
alias ps='ps -aux'
alias du='du -h'
alias df='df -h'
alias bye='logout'

alias ssh='ssh -Y'

# Reset the prompt
# Directory:
# PS1='[\w]$ '
# Hostname:
#PS1='whateveryouwant$ '

Code:

# .bash_profile

# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
	. ~/.bashrc
fi

# BASH
export BASH_ENV=$HOME/.bashrc
export USERNAME=""

# Set DISPLAY
export DISPLAY=:0.0

# My Paths
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:./

# PREFIX
export PREFIX=/usr/local

# Terminal colors
export CLICOLOR=1
export LSCOLORS=ExFxCxDxBxegedabagacad

So when it says "add the full path to the tools directory" I can just write this-

export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:./ and then the rest of my directory.
One more thing. When I went into terminal and typed "open -t .bash_profile I just got an empty text file named .bash_profile, is it supposed to be empty like that or did I do something wrong.
