2009/6/29 Dave Tang:So I've changed my home directory to /home/d.tang in my passwd file. I copied the .bashrc into my new home directory.
But when I restart cygwin, it still doesn't load the .bashrc.
Bash on Cygwin is normally invoked as a login shell, in which case it doesn't source .bashrc. Instead, it sources .bash_profile or .profile, so unless you explicitly source .bashrc from there, it won't be processed.
