Re: deleted by mistake .bashrc file in C:\cygwin\home\setup after install
Obviously not cygwin-specific, and I don't have a cygwin computer in
front of me at the moment, so I'm not even positive that this applies
on cygwin - but on most UNIX systems, you could run
cp /etc/skel/.bashrc ~/.bashrc
Again, I'm not positive that cygwin even has a /etc/skel, but most
UNIX systems copy the files in /etc/skel/ into every new user's home
folder when it's created. Running that command would be the
equivalent of the copy that the system did behind-the-scenes when
setting up your home folder.

Another approach might be to log on as another user and let the system
generate a new .bashrc and then copy the file over. As it happens on my
system the .bashrc is largely commented out as follows.
# base-files version 3.2-1
# User dependent .bashrc file
# See man bash for more options...
# Don't wait for job termination notification
# set -o notify
# Don't use ^D to exit
# set -o ignoreeof
# Don't put duplicate lines in the history.
# export HISTCONTROL=ignoredups
# Some example alias instructions
# alias less='less -r'
# alias rm='rm -i'
# alias whence='type -a'
# alias ls='ls -F --color=tty'
# alias dir='ls --color=auto --format=vertical'
# alias vdir='ls --color=auto --format=long'
# alias ll='ls -l'
# alias la='ls -A'
# alias l='ls -CF'
# Some example functions
# function settitle() { echo -n ^[]2;[EMAIL PROTECTED];[EMAIL PROTECTED]; }
Hope that helps
