Customizing the Environment
In this chapter, we’ll look at the various configuration files for the bash shell environment. We’ll look at how to customize these configuration files, and how to set certain environmental options from the command-line.
Topics in this chapter include:
- Reviewing the environmental variables
- Understanding the configuration files
- Setting shell options from the command line
I’m sticking with bash for now, but in Chapter 22, Understanding the Z Shell, I’ll explain how zsh is set up.
If you’re raring and ready, let’s get going.
