I don’t know bash scripting
if [ -d ~/.bashrc.d ]; then
for rc in ~/.bashrc.d/*; do
if [ -f "$rc" ]; then
. "$rc"
fi
done
I asked chatgpt and it said this is non standard? There is no bashrc.d directory on my home folder, I have uncommented the lines for now but dont know if this is benign or malignant
It sources (includes) any file found in ~/.bashrc.d/ so check that directory.
but there is no such directory
Then it does nothing.
Then it should have no effect.
This is just a nice way to define file-discrete .rc scripts. Like, maybe you have one for shell stuff, one for your custom collection of command aliases, one for initializing pyenv+pyenv-virtualenv, etc. That way, you have domain-constrained .rcs, and it’s easier to scan through things to see if something funny is going on / is broken or whatever.
It just checks to see if there is anything in a bash.d folder, if there isn’t it moves on. Just somebody being preemptively helpful to check for other locations
