Hello there!
I've looked into this list archives and haven't found this issue being
discussed before, so I've decided to post it.
It's my first time using cygwin, and I've noticed that the .bash_profile
file came with the following content:
--------------------8<--------------------
if [ -e ${HOME}/.bashrc ] ; then
source ${HOME}/.bashrc
fi
--------------------8<--------------------
Well, the thing is that neither this test neither the command line would
work with directories containing spaces.
I think that it's very common for windows users to have spaces on their
usernames (my case), which would automatically include a space into the
${HOME} variable.
The solution I've found to fix this issue is to set commas around both
lines, resulting in this:
--------------------8<--------------------
if [ -e "${HOME}/.bashrc" ] ; then
source "${HOME}/.bashrc"
fi
--------------------8<--------------------
What do you say about it?
Thanks,
--
