HELP Possibly corrupted bashrc file

[thebrandon]

I've attempted to play around with my .bashrc file for fun as I'm new to linux and it seemed like something to do.

I created a backup, as suggested on websites.

I've not changed much, and decided I liked the original..anyway..I can not seem to get the original scheme to even work now..

It changed itself..it seems..to the prompt of username@host in red and the cursor blinks at the very beginning, so if I type
it overwrites the prompt.

I just want to have my original Kali Linux prompt, the one that was installed, is there a way to revert it using a repository..
..I've even tried copying an original .bashrc file from a website, which looked identical to my backup..so..not sure why it's acting
differently. All help greatly appreciated.

Hi thebrandon.

There is a original .bashrc file in /etc/skel/ folder, so you can try:

mv /root/.bashrc /root/.bashrc.messedup
cp /etc/skel/.bashrc /root/.bashrc
source /root/.bashrc

Good luck.

yes...actually i did stumble upon a copy of the file in the root directory and copied that over and just changed it according to a new color scheme..never quite figured it out..but my root one is still the original if i miss it too much so ...thanks
