    Where exactly is .bashrc and .bash_profile located?

    I have been trying to learn bash scripting from linuxcommands.com and in one lesson they ask me to edit .bash_profile. They tell me that it will be located at home. but even after

    cd /home
    ls
    i do not see the file there.

    One more thing. How do i open .bash_profile in pico or gedit?
    Will this suffice?

    pico .bash_profile
    Or should I leave the dot out?

    Try again with
    Code:
    ls -al
    , this will show hidden files as well.
