.bashrc and .bash_profile are two different files in a Unix-like operating system used by the Bash shell.
.bashrc is the main configuration file for the Bash shell, while .bash_profile is a default configuration file used when no other file matches the name.
The main difference between these files is that .bashrc is sourced when a Bash shell is started, while .bash_profile is not sourced.
This means that .bashrc is executed first, and any settings in it are applied before any settings in .bash_profile.
This is useful if you want to set different settings for different instances of the Bash shell, or if you want to store your settings in a file rather than in the default configuration file.
