My .bashrc

This repository contains my customized .bashrc file for an enhanced terminal experience. It's packed with useful aliases, environment variables, and tool integrations to make my shell efficient and user-friendly.

Features

• Custom PATH for easy access to local binaries
• Environment Variables with .env file support for global and project-specific configurations
• Aliases for safer and faster commands (ls, rm, grep, etc.)
• Git-Aware Prompt with branch and status indicators
• Tool Support for conda, nvm, and more
• History Tweaks for smarter and bigger history management
• Special Functions for extracting archives and managing environment variables

Environment Variables

The .bashrc includes built-in support for .env files:

• Global Variables: Create ~/.env for system-wide environment variables
• Project Variables: Place .env in project directories for project-specific variables
• Auto-loading: Variables are automatically loaded on shell startup
• Manual Loading: Use load_env [path] to load specific .env files

Example .env file:

# API Keys
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_key_here
GITHUB_TOKEN=your_token_here

# Application Settings
NODE_ENV=development
DEBUG_MODE=false

Installation

Clone and set up the configuration:

git clone https://github.com/Programmer-RD-AI/.bashrc.git
cp .bashrc/.bashrc ~/.config/bash/
source ~/.config/bash/bashrc

Security

• Add .env to your global .gitignore
• Set appropriate permissions: chmod 600 ~/.env
• Never commit .env files to version control
