A lot of people have asked for a sample .bashrc script. This is nothing fancy. It exits if the script is not executed interactively, turns on the colour prompts, sources .bash_aliases, adds /usr/sbin so some commands are executable (for debian mostly)
#!/bin/bash
#-------------------------------------------------------------
# Wayno's .bashrc script
# v 3.0 11/05/2017
#-------------------------------------------------------------
# If not running interactively, don't do anything
[ -z "$PS1" ] && return
#-------------------------------------------------------------
# Source global definitions (if any)
#-------------------------------------------------------------
#-------------------------------------------------------------
# enable programmable completion features (you don't need to enable
# this, if it's already enabled in /etc/bash.bashrc and /etc/profile
# sources /etc/bash.bashrc).
#-------------------------------------------------------------
if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then
. /etc/bash_completion
fi
#-------------------------------------------------------------
# add .bashrc.local wayno 05/20/2009
#-------------------------------------------------------------
if [ -r /etc/bash.bashrc.local ]; then
. /etc/bash.bashrc.local
fi
#-------------------------------------------------------------
# enable bash_aliases GU 12/1/2008
# if bash.bashrc.local exists, use it
#-------------------------------------------------------------
if [ -f ~/.bash_aliases ]; then
. ~/.bash_aliases
fi
#-------------------------------------------------------------
# Turn on colour prompt
#-------------------------------------------------------------
# uncomment for a colored prompt, if the terminal has the capability; turned
# off by default to not distract the user: the focus in a terminal window
# should be on the output of commands, not on the prompt
force_color_prompt=yes
if [ -n "$force_color_prompt" ]; then
if [ -x /usr/bin/tput ] && tput setaf 1 >&/dev/null; then
# We have color support; assume it's compliant with Ecma-48
# (ISO/IEC-6429). (Lack of such support is extremely rare, and such
# a case would tend to support setf rather than setaf.)
color_prompt=yes

fi
#-------------------------------------------------------------
# if colour prompt on, make the bash prompt working directory
#-------------------------------------------------------------
