I accidently deleted my .bashrc file. I am a Debian user.Wat should i do??

Hello and welcome to LinuxQuestions,

If I recall correctly there should be a .bashrc file in /etc or in /etc/skel, so you can copy that to your home directory like this:
Of course that's the default bashrc, you have lost whatever is in your 'deleted' version of the file. If you have a backup of your system (recent) you can restore it from there.

Kind regards,

Eric

Thanks a lottt!!

One more question..Is bash.bashrc file found in /etc same as .bashrc file??

Hello,

No, they're not the same. If you look at the contents of both you can see the differences:
Basically, the /etc/bash.bashrc file is used for system-wide (applies to all users) interactive bash shells. The /etc/skel/.bashrc is a 'skeleton' file that gets copied to the home directory of a user upon creation.

Kind regards,

Eric
