And, you can just put whatever it is in whatever files bash *will* read.... Since bash isn't part of FBSD, I don't know that you'll find any example dotfiles "within FreeBSD". I'd look in either /usr/local/share/* or /usr/local/doc, or wherever the bash manpage or website suggests that the documentation might be.... You can make your own, of course. Look at .shrc., .profile, etc (i.e.) some of the files that *are* default installed, and see what's there. Mostly these are things like aliases (shortcuts?), setting up your CLI prompt in a fashion you desire, chooing a default editor, pager, terminal environment, etc. Also, you *will* likely want to set a PATH for bash, in whatever rc file(s) it will read. I use tcsh, so I don't know that my files would be much help, but I'll attach .cshrc anyhow, you can see what I do for my environment, and it might be good for a laugh....
