| This just runs the system version of bashrc. | ||
| First, you will see that this runs the system's version of the bashrc from /etc/; the purpose is to initialize system-wide functions and aliases. Second, note that it sets up the user specific environment by setting PATH to `$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/bin:$PATH`; in short, this adds the user's executables to the PATH if those executables are in either `$HOME/.local/bin` or `$HOME/bin`. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
This looks good except we're missing an explanation of what the PATH variable is. The page used to have this explanation "PATH points to directories where the computer will look for commands to run. You can append directories as show here."

Did a bunch of updates on the Shell Documentation to fix typos, readability issues, and update documentation.
Overall, the goal was to make the documentation easier to read and understand.
Some of this is subjective. Feel free to make edits or undo changes as you see fit.
