Hello, By default, the `home-bash-service-type` creates a .bashrc with the default bashrc (defined in %default-bashrc in gnu/system/shadow.scm), followed by user-defined aliases, followed by a user-defined bashrc file.
The problem is that %default-bashrc already contains some aliases: alias ls='ls -p --color=auto' alias ll='ls -l' alias grep='grep --color=auto' alias ip='ip -color=auto' which makes it difficult for the user to manage her own set of aliases. If the user wants to remove all the aliases from %default-bashrc and set her own, she can run `unalias -a` in her own bashrc first. But then she can't use the user-defined aliases mechanism from home-bash-configuration, since that is added to the file before the user-defined bashrc. My suggestion is that when aliases is set in home-bash-configuration, we remove the predefined default aliases from %default-bashrc. Or at least provide an option to do so.
