 There is much confusion over the role that each of these files play. When you login to a system, the .bash_profile file is executed UPON LOGIN. The .bashrc file modifies the default environment when connected without login, for example when executing commands remotely using SSH. Note that changes made in the .bashrc file will be reflected in the .bash_profile file but not vise versa.
