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.
