macos - Difference between .profile and .bash_profile on Snow Leopard

Question

asked Oct 17, 2021 in Technique[技术] by 深蓝 (71.8m points)

I am going to set the path for mySQl on my computer (I'm running Snow Leopard) but I see different instructions online.

Some say to change the .profile file and some say to change the .bash_profile file. What is the difference?

.profile works with sh or bash. However .bash_profile is bash-specific and will override .profile if present.
