Load bash preferences when SSH to a host
I have a laptop computer where I customize my bash using a .bashrc
file. Whenever I SSH to a remote host, I always find myself trying to use aliases or other functionality that I have set on my laptop, but they are not there. Today I found a little trick that I can use to copy my .bashrc
configuration to a remote host, so I can feel at home.
What we need to do is copy our .bashrc
file to the host we are going to SSH to. Something like this would work:
1
scp ~/.bashrc user@host:/tmp/.my-bashrc
