So, I just found out about a programme called SynthShell which kind of does the work for you and gives you a nice looking shell, the thing is that this also creates some config files and other stuff in my system, instead of just one .bashrc file to edit. What would be the best way to learn to have a nice looking bash where I can just have a backup of it that I can use throughout systems?

    As long as you’re not going to store sensitive data in there, I’ve just been using GitHub. I’ve got a Private Repository setup with my configs (.bashrc as well as WM configs and other dot files) and I just commit/push it up and heave an update script pull it down elsewhere. Then it’s also version controlled.

      I think I maybe phrased it horribly, my question was more like, what do I need to learn in order to modify myself the .bashrc by myself instead of using a programme. Does it make sense?

        Use chatgpt. Take the first line of your bashrc file and ask it to explain it. Than the second line etc. Won't be always perfect but for bashrc it shouldn't be a problem and you can learn a lot from it.
