Hello y'all. Am kinda of having problems understanding usage of this shells
/bin/sh
/bin/csh
. Like you all know, let's assume your shell is /bin/bash, all your configuration goes into .bashrc file in ~/users home directory . So I will like to know the config file for the listed shells, and if I have to create one? thanks in anticipation
Well, in the case of /bin/sh, that is probably just a link to /bin/bash anyway. But csh can be configured in the same way as Bash, through use of a .cshrc file.
Ok, let's assume I want to change my present prompt in the case of me using /bin/csh, what do I do. You know in the case of /bin/bash, all you just have to do ios to write your new prompt and save in .bashrc in youir home directory. Is it the same for /bin/csh, and what file do I need to save my prompt ?

You have to do the same, but call the file .cshrc and put it in your home directory.
Thanks to slackyman. I think I got it now. So basically, in-respective of the shell you are using, all you just have to do is create an rc file with the shell name and save in your ~/user home directory right ?
