BASH_PROFILE is a Bash shell user profile. Any changes made will not apply until logging out and logging back in. A .bash_profile file extension relates to the Unix Bash and is used for its login shell files. You can use any text or source code editor to view content of the .bash_profile files. The files cannot likely be converted to anything else. In order to open a BASH_PROFILE file, an appropriate program supporting the file format must be installed. Below is a list of programs supporting BASH_PROFILE files. Not all listed applications can perform all operations on BASH_PROFILE files. Some may only open and view contents while others may convert files to other formats. Learn about the BASH_PROFILE file extension and open .bash_profile files with associated software. The BASH_PROFILE file format description is not yet available. Be careful with .bash_profile files from unknown sources. When double-clicking a file to open it, Windows examines the filename extension to locate the correct application. You don’t set file associations in your .bash_profile, the OS handles that. Easiest way to globally change associations is with RCDefaultApp through System Preferences. This will either open the file with the matching application or suggest looking for one on the web or local computer. There is no one program allowing you to work with any file extension including BASH_PROFILE. Each program contains different data and needs specialized software to work with BASH_PROFILE files.
