The .bashrc file is a script that runs every time a new terminal session is started in Unix-like operating systems. It is used to configure the shell session, set up aliases, define functions, and more, making the terminal easier to use and more powerful. Below is a summary of the key sections and functionalities defined in the provided .bashrc file.

• Environment Checks: The script checks if it is running in an interactive mode and sets up the environment accordingly.
• System Utilities: It checks for the presence of utilities like fastfetch, bash-completion, and system-specific configurations (/etc/bashrc).

• Aliases: Shortcuts for common commands are set up to enhance productivity. For example, alias cp='cp -i' makes the cp command interactive, asking for confirmation before overwriting files.
• Functions: Custom functions for complex operations like extract() for extracting various archive types, and cpp() for copying files with a progress bar.

• Prompt Command: The PROMPT_COMMAND variable is set to automatically save the command history after each command.
• History Control: Settings to manage the size of the history file and how duplicates are handled.

• Editor Settings: Sets nvim (NeoVim) as the default editor.
• Conditional Aliases: Depending on the system type (like Fedora), it sets specific aliases, e.g., replacing cat with bat.

• Color and Formatting: Enhancements for command output readability using colors and formatting for tools like ls, grep, and man.
• Navigation Shortcuts: Aliases to simplify directory navigation, e.g., alias ..='cd ..' to go up one directory.
• Safety Features: Aliases for safer file operations, like using trash instead of rm for deleting files, to prevent accidental data loss.
• Extensive Zoxide support: Easily navigate with z, zi, or pressing Ctrl+f to launch zi to see frequently used navigation directories.

• System Information: Functions to display system information like distribution() to identify the Linux distribution.
• Networking Utilities: Tools to check internal and external IP addresses.
• Resource Monitoring: Commands to monitor system resources like disk usage and open ports.

• Auto-Install: A function install_bashrc_support() to automatically install necessary utilities based on the system type.
• Configuration Editors: Functions to edit important configuration files directly, e.g., apacheconfig() for Apache server configurations.

This .bashrc file is a comprehensive setup that not only enhances the shell experience with useful aliases and functions but also provides system-specific configurations and safety features to cater to different user needs and system types. It is designed to make the terminal more user-friendly, efficient, and powerful for an average user.

This sets up mybash for you. It will backup your current bashrc if you already have one.
