.bash_profile
is executed for login shells, while .bashrc
is executed for interactive non-login shells.
When you login (type username and password) via console, either sitting at the machine, or remotely via ssh: .bash_profile
is executed to configure your shell before the initial command prompt.
But, if you’ve already logged into your machine and open a new terminal window (xterm) then .bashrc
is executed before the window command prompt. .bashrc
is also run when you start a new bash instance by typing /bin/bash
in a terminal.
