When I log on w/ Mintty or Bash (via the bat file) it takes me to my
home directory but doesn't automatically source .bashrc.
It's only in non-login shells that .bashrc gets sourced by default. If
you want it to be sourced in login shells, you should do that in your
~/.bash_profile file. (See the section on startup files in the bash
manual.)
For example, here's what the default .bash_profile does:
$ cat /etc/defaults/etc/skel/.bash_profile
[...]
# ~/.bash_profile: executed by bash(1) for login shells.
[...]
# User dependent .bash_profile file
# source the users bashrc if it exists
if [ -f "${HOME}/.bashrc" ] ; then
source "${HOME}/.bashrc"
