In the office environment, I have common Linux machine and personal Windows machine.

I always like to have my environment set in my own way, like colors everywhere. So, I just keep the following contents in my ~/.bashrc

alias c=clear
alias l=’ls -l’
alias grep=’grep –color=always’
alias s=’source ~vikas/.bashrc’
alias grep=’grep –color=always’
alias ls=’/bin/ls –color=tty’
alias rm=’rm -i’
alias cp=’cp -i’
alias mv=’mv -i’
alias j=’jobs -l’
alias vi=”/usr/bin/vim -u ~vikas/.vimrc”
alias vim=”/usr/bin/vim -u ~vikas/.vimrc”
export CSCOPE_EDITOR=vim

But, sometime I am working as root (and so is everybody logged at the same time). So I just keep

alias vik=’source ~vikas/.bashrc’

in the ~root/.bashrc

Every time I login as root, I just say

mylocalhost# vik

& my environment is set
