I spend a lot of time with BASH. This is the way I like it. That's my only excuse.

Whoa figueroa, much of it is like an alien language. I feel like navel lint. Awesome.
Don't feel intimidated. A lot of it is boilerplate and comments, and a lot is from the default .bashrc. I just change things for the look and feel that I want or to make certain things work (like gnupg in vim).
Before tweaking your own .bashrc, make a permanent backup. In fact, backups of EVERYTHING solve a lot of problems. In case you no longer have the original, you can always get one from a live-usb.
