I want to put my dot files on GitHub , but I don’t want all my aliases showing up publicly. So my plan is to put my aliases in a seperate file and .gitignore it. However I get a permission denied when I attempt to source that file. Are bashfiles supposed to be either .bashrc or .bash_profile?
(Mac OS X 10.7, Bash version 3.2.48(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin11).)
Of course this is possible, and also a very good practice. However, as per your message of denied permission, maybe you’re trying to execute that files. But to correctly read those files at configuration time, you have to add either:
or
in your
.bashrcfile. (Note the space after the first dot, that is an alias forsource).
