I'm programming in Ruby, on latest OpenSUSE.
Every time I open new tab (which I do a lot during the day) - I need to type:
/bin/bash --login
Otherwise it won't load all my settings.
Tried to create alias for that, but aliaces are saved into .bashrc file, so they don't work until I log in.
Is there a way to have terminal login right after I opened a new terminal window?
Tried to make a Bash file:
!/bin/bash
xterm -e "/bin/bash --login"
But I can't go to desktop every time I need to open a new tab.
Does anyone know how to set up OpenSUSE properly?
Login bash reads ~/.bash_profile, interactive bash - ~/.bashrc. See Bash Startup Files for more details.
When you open a terminal window it starts bash in the interactive mode which makes bash read ~/.bashrc. Settings from ~/.bash_profile are normally read when you log into the desktop, so that when ~/.bash_profile is changed you need to re-login for the changes to apply.
People often make ~/.bash_profile invoke ~/.bashrc as well, so that you get the same environment in both modes.
