Enable .bashrc on OSX Snow Leopard (and Lion)

Wednesday, October 19th, 2011

Unfortunately OSX doesn’t use .bashrc per default, but it is easy to enable it. To do it, open up the file /etc/profile with root privileges like this:

sudo nano /etc/profile

And add the following line:

[ -r $HOME/.bashrc ] && source $HOME/.bashrc

[ -r $HOME/.bashrc ] && source $HOME/.bashrc

Save, and now your .bashrc file should work like you expect.
