These are my personal .bashrc and .vimrc files. After years of losing them when I changed jobs or whenever I lost a computer, I decided to take those files and just place them in github for me to be able to go back to whenever I wanted. These are exteremly simple files. By .bashrc used to have all sorts of crazy crap in it, but this is what I’ve found I need on a day to day basis.

You’re free to use this as a starting point, or as a compliment to your existing bashrc. It works so far in RHEL/CentOS 5,6,7,8 Ubuntu 12.04LTS to now, ArchLinux, SuSE and every other variant of Linux I’ve had access to and time to play with. It works well with Solaris 6 → 10 and OpenSolaris 11. Lately I’ve been tweaking it to work with MacOSX and Windows10 bash shell. I welcome input to these simple scripts at @siliconjesus on twitter.
