Macos – Can’t find .bashrc for Mac

iman453, the files need to be named .bashrc and .bash_profile. The period before the file means it is hidden. Any idea what version of Unix or Linux the build server is running?

In my home directory I have

.
|-- .bash_history
|-- .bash_logout
|-- .bash_profile
|-- .bashrc
|-- .mozilla
|   |-- extensions
|   `-- plugins
|-- .ssh
|   |-- .config
|   |-- authorized_keys
|   |-- authorized_keys2
|   `-- known_hosts
|-- .viminfo
|-- .vimrc

The contents of my .bashrc file are:

# .bashrc

# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
        . /etc/bashrc
fi

# User specific aliases and functions
alias chknag='sudo /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg'
alias ducks='sudo du -cksh * | sort -n | head -50'

The contents of .bash_profile:

# .bash_profile

# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
        . ~/.bashrc
fi

# User specific environment and startup programs

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin

export PATH

When I SSH into this machine after I authenticate I have access to the alias ducks.

I had a similar problem with my .profile not being run. It turns out (as explained in this Apple StackExchange answer) that if you have .bash_profile or .bash_login files, then your .profile will be ignored by bash.
