.bashrc Changes only visible from Terminal

OssNass

Whenever I add some values like environment variables to .bashrc file, even after restart GUI applications doesn't respect these changes unless are placed in /usr/share/defaults/etc/profile\

How can I change that?

OssNass Add them to /etc/profile if you want to have them apply to your login shell (or ~/.bash_profile if you only want it for a single user)

Staudey I know of .profile but '.bash_profile` is new to me, I will try it

OssNass I was originally about to suggest ~/.profile but then I read in above post that it checks for that one last, so I changed it to ~/.bash_profile to avoid situations where you'd already have a config file with higher priority 😀

If you don't have .bash_profile or .bash_login then .profile should work just as well. Also if you already have a .profile then .bash_profile will take precedence as per the info in above post.
