linux - 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.

How does it work? What does ~ refer to in Windows? Where to find .bashrc?

Answer 1

Since the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, the location changed to:

C:UsersUSERNAMEAppDataLocalPackages{DIST}LocalState
ootfshome{LINUXUSER}

Where:

• {DIST} is equal to CanonicalGroupLimited.UbuntuonWindows_79rhkp1fndgsc
• {LINUXUSER} is the user for which you are looking for the .bashrc file

Just for anyone wondering that came here from Google.
