# Issue a Linux command to change to your '''home''' directory.<br><br>

# Issue a Linux command to <u>confirm</u> you are located in the '''home''' directory.<br><br>

# Use the '''more''' command to view the contents of the start-up file called '''/etc/bashrc''' (eg. <span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">more /etc/bashrc</span>)<br><br>This file contains the '''default settings''' when you '''open your Bash shell''' (eg. if issuing the command '''bash''').<br><br>Since we are using the Bash shell by default, let's create a customized Bash start-up file.<br>This startup file is located in your '''home''' directory using the name "'''.bashrc'''"<br><br>

# Let's move your .bashrc file to prevent accidental overwrite. Issue the following linux command:<br><span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">mv ~/.bashrc ~/.bashrc.bk</span><br><br>If you experience an error message "''No such file or directory''", just ignore since there is no startup file to backup.<br><br>
