Location of .bashrc for “Bash on Ubuntu on Windows” in Windows 10

Question

Microsoft just introduced a Linux subsystem in its Windows 10 Anniversary Edition. The installation is pretty straight forward, but I could not locate bash files on Windows.

Answer 1

Right now on WSL 2 you can find it under /home/{user_name} and the file is hidden.

You can access it from Ubuntu console by {text_editor} .bashrc

If you want to edit that in Windows just type in ubuntu console explorer.exe . and it opens the current folder and shows all hidden files. It's weird but works fine.
