    Nice. I love the ignore dups.

    This will be my first shot at editing ~/.bashrc, but I think I'm ready for it.

    Great tips -- I've been using bash for years, and always learn new ways to make it work better.

    Nice list. I long ago created a BASH alias (maybe you should add a note about those) to do the history search:
    alias hs='history | grep -i' in .bash_aliases.
    Now i can search history like this "hs <command>".

    Hey any chance you might post a followup to this with a full sample .bashrc? I haven't found one I really like yet and would love to see more examples.

    Thanks!

    You may add color to your shell , configure aliases , configure autorun bash logon scripts ,you can search through the history using ^r , you can type !! to be automatically replaced by the last command you entered ... there is a ton of ways :-)
