The ~/.bashrc file determines the behavior of interactive shells. A good look at this file can lead to a better understanding of Bash.
Emmanuel Rouat contributed the following very elaborate .bashrc file, written for a Linux system. He welcomes reader feedback on it.
Study the file carefully, and feel free to reuse code snippets and functions from it in your own .bashrc file or even in your scripts.

# PERSONAL $HOME/.bashrc FILE for bash-3.0 (or later)

# This file is normally read by interactive shells only.
#+ Here is the place to define your aliases, functions and
#+ other interactive features like your prompt.
#
# The majority of the code here assumes you are on a GNU
#+ system (most likely a Linux box) and is often based on code
#+ found on Usenet or Internet.
#
# See for instance:
# http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/index.html
# http://www.caliban.org/bash
# http://www.shelldorado.com/scripts/categories.html
# http://www.dotfiles.org
#
# The choice of colors was done for a shell with a dark background
#+ (white on black), and this is usually also suited for pure text-mode
#+ consoles (no X server available). If you use a white background,
#+ you'll have to do some other choices for readability.
#
# This bashrc file is a bit overcrowded.
# Remember, it is just just an example.
# Tailor it to your needs.

And, here is a snippet from Andrzej Szelachowski's instructive .bash_profile file.
Example M-2. .bash_profile file
# From Andrzej Szelachowski's ~/.bash_profile:
# Note that a variable may require special treatment
#+ if it will be exported.
DARKGRAY='\e[1;30m'
LIGHTRED='\e[1;31m'
GREEN='\e[32m'
YELLOW='\e[1;33m'
LIGHTBLUE='\e[1;34m'
NC='\e[m'
PCT="\`if [[ \$EUID -eq 0 ]]; then T='$LIGHTRED' ; else T='$LIGHTBLUE'; fi;
echo \$T \`"
# For "literal" command substitution to be assigned to a variable,
#+ use escapes and double quotes:
#+ PCT="\` ... \`" . . .
# Otherwise, the value of PCT variable is assigned only once,
#+ when the variable is exported/read from .bash_profile,
#+ and it will not change afterwards even if the user ID changes.
PS1="\n$GREEN[\w] \n$DARKGRAY($PCT\t$DARKGRAY)-($PCT\u$DARKGRAY)-($PCT\!
$DARKGRAY)$YELLOW-> $NC"
# Escape a variables whose value changes:
# if [[ \$EUID -eq 0 ]],
# Otherwise the value of the EUID variable will be assigned only once,
#+ as above.
# When a variable is assigned, it should be called escaped:
#+ echo \$T,
# Otherwise the value of the T variable is taken from the moment the PCT
#+ variable is exported/read from .bash_profile.
# So, in this example it would be null.
# When a variable's value contains a semicolon it should be strong quoted:
# T='$LIGHTRED',
# Otherwise, the semicolon will be interpreted as a command separator.
# Variables PCT and PS1 can be merged into a new PS1 variable:
PS1="\`if [[ \$EUID -eq 0 ]]; then PCT='$LIGHTRED';
else PCT='$LIGHTBLUE'; fi;
echo '\n$GREEN[\w] \n$DARKGRAY('\$PCT'\t$DARKGRAY)-\
('\$PCT'\u$DARKGRAY)-('\$PCT'\!$DARKGRAY)$YELLOW-> $NC'\`"
# The trick is to use strong quoting for parts of old PS1 variable. |
