.bashrc doesn't exist by default. You'll have to create it. From the
manual page:
When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, it
first reads and executes commands from the file /etc/pro-
file, if that file exists. After reading that file, it
looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile,
in that order, and reads and executes commands from the
first one that exists and is readable. The --noprofile
option may be used when the shell is started to inhibit
this behavior.
When a login shell exits, bash reads and executes commands
from the file ~/.bash_logout, if it exists.
When an interactive shell that is not a login shell is
started, bash reads and executes commands from ~/.bashrc,
if that file exists. This may be inhibited by using the
--norc option. The --rcfile file option will force bash
to read and execute commands from file instead of
~/.bashrc.
