The bash book to rule them all
> An interactive shell can be a login-shell or a non-login-shell.
A shell can be login and non-interactive.
This happens e.g when starting a session from a X session manager. Subsequently a terminal such as Xterm starts non-login interactive sessions.
Similarly doing ssh starts a non-interactive login shell.
> However, bash behaves like an interactive non-login shell in this case and reads `bashrc`.
IIRC nope: distros such as Debian often have bashrc source bash profile (or the other way around, I can't recall) which has me irate to no end+. They even have some TTY dependent stuff in profile which spits out some error in some cases when no TTY is allocated because heh not interactive.
+ I took great length to have my rc and profile properly separated because it's that much faster not to source the unneeded stuff. https://github.com/lloeki/dotfiles

A Dotfile History
Got a similar repo: https://github.com/lloeki/dotfiles
A couple of differences though.
- there's a setup script to do the basic symlinks, automatically from the files in the "home" subdir by prepending the names with .
- then for shell stuff everything is sourced from either shell, bash, or zsh subdirs, all in modular files
- shell dir content is autoloaded based on +x
- there are polyfills for bash that makes it more zsh-like (stuff like precmd)
- each shell module tests for tool presence and is a noop or sets up a fallback when the tool is not available, so I can clone this on any system and have it still work, gracefully degrading down to zero deps except the shell itself
- it also attempts to provide a uniform experience across bash versions and OSes (darwin, linux)
- prompt is minimal (workdir, dirname only, not the full path), increases with detail progressively and in a hierarchical order (root if root, host if ssh, workdir, vcs branch if in repo, vcs status as symbols if nonempty, venv name if virtualenv, "nix" if in nix shell)
