config

shell

The following files are essential:

• ~/.profile
• ~/.inputrc
• ~/.shrc

~/.bash_profile

To make bash play ball, do the following:

# ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.profile   # Get the paths
source ~/.shrc      # get aliases

~/.inputrc

Readline configuration; vim bindings are more convenient than emacs

set editing-mode vi
set keymap vi-command

Alternatively if you're SSH'ing into a remote box with no config and bash you can do:

$ set -o vi

~/.shrc

Generic shell config; can be sourced from any shell
