How to find .bashrc or .zshrc?
I just got a MacBook Pro and am in the process of trying to get GNU commands installed. I'm following this guide, but I don't know how to do:
Then add the following line to your .bashrc
or .zshrc
:
export PATH="$(brew --prefix coreutils)/libexec/gnubin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
I did a cd; ls -a
and I don't see any files called .bashrc
or .zshrc
.
Additional Info:
Running Yosemite 10.10.3 on a MacBook Pro. Already have Xcode installed. Total newbie at this.
Solution 1:
To know which shell are you using, use the following command:
$ echo $SHELL
It will return something like:
/bin/bash
or
/bin/zsh
After you know the shell, if the file .bashrc
or .zshrc
doesn't exist in your home directory (echo $HOME
to find out), just create it.
If you are using bash
, you may have a file called .bash_profile
where you can put your export
command instead (don't know in zsh
).
