Apologia, decisions, & consequences

The .bashrc file I use on CentOS6

# .bashrc

# User specific aliases and functions

alias rm='rm -i'
alias cp='cp -i'
alias mv='mv -i'

# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
        . /etc/bashrc
fi

# system variables
export VISUAL=nano  # sets nano as the crontab editor
export GZIP=-9      # maximum compression
export XZ_OPT=-9    # maximum compressions

# ls modifications
alias ll='ls -alF'
alias la='ls -A'
alias l='ls -CF'

# calculator
calc() { echo "$*" | bc -l; }

# Generate a UUID
uuid() { UUID=$(cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid) && echo $UUID; }

# CHANGE SHELL/WINDOW TITLE
# Works on Opensuse 15.3
# PS1=$PS1"\[\e]0;test1\a\]"
shellrename() { read -p "Enter new shell name: " name && PS1=$PS1"\[\e]0;${name}\a\]"; }

# For older versions of gnome-terminal
# shellrename() { read -p "Enter new shell name: " name && PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${name}\007"'; }

# Zen Burn
# Another old way that works great in gnome-terminal while causing problems
# in some configurations involving SSH:
