Editing Profile

{{welcome}}

This tip comes from ericbsd on Telegram 21.02. at 1:24

You have to go to .profile in your home folder.


<code>/u/h/ericbsd cat .profile</code>
<nowiki>#</nowiki> $FreeBSD$
<nowiki>#</nowiki>
<nowiki>#</nowiki> .profile - Bourne Shell startup script for login shells
<nowiki>#</nowiki>
<nowiki>#</nowiki> see also sh(1), environ(7).
<nowiki>#</nowiki>

<nowiki>#</nowiki> These are normally set through /etc/login.conf.  You may override them here
<nowiki>#</nowiki> if wanted.
<nowiki>#</nowiki> PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:$HOME/bin; export PATH
<nowiki>#</nowiki> BLOCKSIZE=K;  export BLOCKSIZE

<nowiki>#</nowiki> Setting TERM is normally done through /etc/ttys.  Do only override
<nowiki>#</nowiki> if you're sure that you'll never log in via telnet or xterm or a
<nowiki>#</nowiki> serial line.
<nowiki># </nowiki>TERM=xterm;   export TERM

<code>EDITOR=vi;     export EDITOR</code>
<code>PAGER=less;    export PAGER</code>

<nowiki>#</nowiki> set ENV to a file invoked each time sh is started for interactive use.
<code>ENV=$HOME/.shrc; export ENV</code>

<nowiki>#</nowiki> Query terminal size; useful for serial lines.
<code>if [ -x /usr/bin/resizewin ] ; then /usr/bin/resizewin -z ; fi</code>

<nowiki>#</nowiki> Display a random cookie on each login.
<code>if [ -x /usr/bin/fortune ] ; then /usr/bin/fortune freebsd-tips ; fi</code>
<code>CHARSET=UTF-8; export CHARSET</code>
<code>'''LANG=en_US.UTF-8;'''  export LANG</code>


You will need to log out to have this the change to happen
