Hmm, weren't dotfiles invented just for that reason?

I'm joking but on a more serious note, installing a shell as a default shell seems more complicated than copying over your .bashrc

    more complicated than copying over your .bashrc

In case you weren't aware, MacOS uses zsh as the default installed shell. The bash version that comes with MacOS is some ancient 3.x version, from 2005.

    I think you where trying to say something and then stopped just short of actually making your point. Please continue.

      Just that it would be `.zshrc` since zsh is already the default shell in the context of this post unless you enjoy a mid-2000s existence and none of the nice bash features of this generation (in which whatever `.bashrc` you've crafted is likely broken by time passing).

      Maybe I'm underinformed, but I don't personally know any Linux users who convert to zsh, instead opting for fish or something else (oilsh? nushell?).
