SHORT VIDEO

LONG TECHNICAL VIDEO

We explain how to update.

arcolinux-root-git contains your .bashrc and it is often that one that gets changed.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bash#Configuration_files

We start by talking about the importance of /etc/skel.

We learn what the alias bupskel does and the importance it has if you want to know what changed in /etc/skel. 

You can compare the content before the update and after the update with meld.

Procedure

  • bupskel
  • update
  • buspkel
  • compare both folders

Then we type a skel. The new configuration is not on your Home directory.

The content of .bashrc-latest is NEVER GOING TO BE USED.

We need to get the content of .bashrc-latest inside .bashrc.

Use the alias cb.

Now you can use the new aliases.

When explaining nlightdm alias, I will have caused some confusion.
