AVN creates .bash_profile instead of writing in .profile

[slorber]

Hi,

My mac had a .profile config. After installing AVN a lot of my things in shell got broken, because AVN created a .bash-profile file that did not exist before.

This lead to my .profile not being loaded anymore, leading to my $PATH being incorrect, my aliases not being created.

I think AVN should append to .profile if it exists, because creating .bash_profile will make bash to not load .profile file, making other apps unusable in the same time

Details

• avn avn --version: 0.2.3
• node node --version 7.0.0
• nvm nvm --version 0.32.1
• n n --version not found
• zsh zsh --version 5.0.8
• bash bash --version 3.2.57(1)

Just copy the folowing line from ~/.bash_profile into ~/.bashrc if you're using linux.
[[ -s "$HOME/.avn/bin/avn.sh" ]] && source "$HOME/.avn/bin/avn.sh" # load avn

you can delete the ~/.bash_profile file afterwards on ubuntu / linux
