Mine is available on my git repo, nothing amazing, just a few simple aliases and scripts to save me time. Due to the number of systems I use my .bashrc on, i've got numerous entries that detect and enable features as required.

Just found a cool .bashrc tip and didn't want the tip to get lost in this thread, but here's how you can add color man pages.

i have some 'stuff' in my .bashrc file that i got off this forum, but i mainly use a file called .alias and it works great. just add this to your .bashrc so it will find the .alias file
if [ -e $HOME/.alias ]; then
[ -n "$PS1" ] && . $HOME/.alias
fiand this is my .alias file. i have collected most from the internet and some are mine. if you decide to use some of it make sure you check the folder locations/names and this is for my computer. 
#insert the following at the end of $HOME/.bashrc
# Source the aliases, if a separate file exists
#if [ -e $HOME/.alias ]; then
# [ -n "$PS1" ] && . $HOME/.alias
#fi
#Aliases for improved directory listings
#The --color=tty option shows items in different colors according to their type.

hey, i tried that...and every combination i could think of for "apt-history" and no packages were found to install.
clarify? sounds like a great little addition.

cannot find package to install.
You don't install anything. You add the code that Awebb provided to your .bashrc file and then you can run these commands from a terminal
apt-history install
apt-history upgrade
apt-history remove
apt-history rollback
They provide time stamped output of packages you have recently installed, upgraded, removed or rolledback with apt.

well then..........let me be the first to slap myself silly

does this go direct into .bashrc, or into .bash_profile?

I found this the other day and put it my bashrc. Works like a charm. No messing with setups. It's quick and easy. I'm sure others know this...but in case not...
To share the contents of any folder on your machine simply run:
python -c "import SimpleHTTPServer; SimpleHTTPServer.test();"
and put this in your bashrc:
alias webshare='python -c "import SimpleHTTPServer; SimpleHTTPServer.test();"'
Then on any other machine in your LAN open Firefox point it to port 8000, like http://192.168.1.65:8000, and away you go. It will list the files from the directory you ran the script from so be careful. If you run it from / the the whole system is open.
