Overview
This article describes how bash executes its startup files. If any of the files exist, but cannot be read, bash reports an error.
Interactive Login Shell
This sequence is executed by an interactive login shell, or a shell that was invoked with --login:
├─→ /etc/profile ─→ /etc/profile.d/*.sh │ │ └─→ ~/.bash_profile ─→ ~/.bash_login ─→ ~/.profile # executes the first one that exists and it is readable
When more than one of ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login or ~/.profile exists and it is readable, the first one, in this order, is executed.
~/.bashrc

Non-Interactive Shell
Invoked with the name "sh"
Invoked by Remote Shell Daemon
Invoked with Unequal Effective and Real UID/GIDs
Setting Configuration for all Users, Including root
To set up shell configuration system-wide, either update /etc/profile or add a specialized /etc/profile./d/*.sh file, which is automatically executed when /etc/profile is evaluated.
Found this comment in /etc/profile:
# Bash login shells run only /etc/profile
