The broken .bashrc

[z.baysal]

Hi, I’m following the tutorial. When I opened the .bashrc for first time, I tried to look all the commands and then I accidently writing/typing something. After that whole .bashrc code got changed. I tried to open the course again, restart the computer but It didn’t restored.It also says that “This file will be saved together with your rosject.” How can I fix this?

Most Linux distributions come with a default .bashrc file that can be copied back into the home directory. To restore this file, they can use the following command:

cp /etc/skel/.bashrc ~/.bashrc

We can provide you the default ~/.bashrc for The Construct. Please note that, ideally, you should not make changes to this file unless asked to, and you should only make the changes asked.

@merajhossainpromit
Thanks for trying to help out, but the default .bashrc might not work out of the box. You need to use the one provided by The Construct.

Here you have the original .bashrc:

# ~/.bashrc: executed by bash(1) for non-login shells.
# see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files (in the package bash-doc)
# for examples

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# When running commands through Python's Popen or Python's SSH Client (paramiko)
# the shells are not interactive and "source /home/user/.bash_aliases" is not
# executed. Because of that our scripts fails for not having ROS_* variables
# defined. Since we always need those variables, no matter whether we are using
# ssh or python, we uncomment the lines below.
#
# It is worth mentioning also that when running commands with
#   sudo su user -c "echo commands executed by the 'user' user"
#
# the ~/.bashrc is not called. In those cases we have to explicitly call
#   source ~/.bashrc
#
# More details on PR #122.
