The BASH runtime configuration files (/etc/bashrc and ~/.bashrc) are typically used to set aliases and variables that must be present in the BASH shell. They are executed immediately after a new login as well as when a new BASH shell is created after login. The /etc/bashrc file contains aliases and variables for all users on the system, whereas the ~/.bashrc file contains aliases and variables for a specific user.
The other environment files are only executed after a new login. The /etc/profile file is exe- cuted after login for all users on the system and sets most environment variables, such as HOME and PATH.
