I have made copies of my .bashrc in / and in /home/user_name/ - but it does not look at either of them. I have looked at the FAQ (http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.using.bashrc) In this I could not understand if the “HOME environment variable” refers to an environment variable in cygwin or under Windows. Under cygwin “echo $HOME” gives /home/user_name - but I don’t have a HOME variable defined. Am I missing something in trying to source my .bashrc. Thanks for your replies and help.
