Risking asking a possibly duplicate here but could not get any relevant answers. I wish to use my local system's .bash_profile and .vimrc on all the remote hosts I log in to. Is there an easy way to temporarily use them on the remote hosts or to copy the files aliasing ssh clubbed with scp somehow that I don't have to copy them manually every-time.

Thanks.

  • People who rely on .vimrc or .bash_profile tricks usually don't manage many systems. – kubanczyk Apr 3 '18 at 16:20

    @kubanczyk I do and I like to have my alias and customizations available on all of them. – Dexter Apr 3 '18 at 16:25
  • @kubanczyk Have you an advice related to this challenge? What would you recommend instead? Please share some knowlegde, thanks! – Fabian Apr 4 '18 at 13:06
  • @Fabian I don't customize these files. Every complex command is a one-liner somewhere in my shell history or in a textual snippet file. – kubanczyk Apr 4 '18 at 13:25

Unfortunately there is no straightforward solution, here are a few ideas though: How to bring .vimrc around when I SSH?

  • Sounds like there is no easy way out of this. :/ – Dexter Mar 29 '18 at 7:01
