You included lots of unrelated customizations, see below.

Err, aren't they already there by default?

I'd go for /home/$user/.config (the default XDG directory).

Ok, but this only affects new users. For existing accounts one has to
move the files by hand.

This is not necessary for the task at hand and the default .bash_logout
already does similar (and better, it doesn't clear *all* consoles, just
because I logged out of one).

See bash(1) for why this is not needed.

These seem to be your own customizations and don't seem to apply to the
task at hand.

Are you sure this is a good idea?

Are you missing a space here?

So basically you're setting $HOME to be /home/$user/.rc

And you are customizing 'cd' to take you to /home/$user/ instead of
/home/$user/.rc

Why include them then?
