The software I use automatically edits my .bushrc
by adding some lines export
and source
. By the way, the software edits bashrc using ansible's like this.
I think this is not a good design choice, because user might sometime unconsciously delete the specific lines in bashrc inserted by the software, and after that user cannot easily get the bashrc back to the original state.
So personally, It would be helpful if installation instruction describes what should be added in the bashrc in the README, rather than let the software edit the bashrc.
I want to hear which (automatically edit or instruction in readme) is better and why?
