Bashrc command

Issues & Assistance
1

Hi all, bashrc does not source at all on start. I put my shortcuts commands in bashrc but I am unable to use them until I source the bashrc, in which case my terminal becomes weird.

 ╭─bruttherjoe@bruttherjoe in ~/Downloads took 20s
✦  ╰─λ source ~/.bashrc
[\u@\h \W]$

so [\u@\h \W]$ becomes my user? I need bashrc to be sourced upon opening a new terminal. I am not sure how to resolve this, please help me

No help.

You can do two things

  1. Use shortcut commands in fishrc instead of bashrc

  2. Use bash

chsh -s /bin/bash

It is because you are probably using fish, not bash. In the settings for your terminal, change the shell to /bin/bash. Otherwise, use chsh as @Naman suggested

You can’t reply because your post was moved due to the fact that you didn’t provide an inxi. Once it is moved back to a normal category, you will be able to reply again.

Actually bash is the default login shell
But in terminal we set it to use fish.

As fish is user friendly while we still keep compatibility with apps that need bash as login shell

Thank you all! I am now reading about fish. Seems like I wont change after all, after I learn how to set shortcuts like in bashrc.
