bash_profile is a configuration file for bash shell. When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell it first reads and executes commands from ~/. bash_profile.
The idea is to share best practices, suggestions, tricks and keep the same profile across multiple development platforms easily cloning from the repository.
A typical install of OSX won't create a .bash_profile for you. When you want to run functions from your command line, this is a must-have.
Startup Terminal
Type: "cd ~/" to go to your home folder
Type: "touch .bash_profile" to create your new file.
Edit: .bash_profile with your favorite editor (or you can just type "open -e .bash_profile" to open it in TextEdit.
Type: ". .bash_profile" to reload .bash_profile and update any functions you add (reload by the system)
open -e ~/.bash_profile
touch ~/.bash_profile
. ~/.bash_profile
// from now on we will use the bash_profile
To edit: "edit_profile"
to reload: "reload_profile" (reload by using bash_profile)
Note: Use double quotes instead of single one.
