Hi,
Those files are required by cygwin. Not sure what each is used for, but I know you need them.
The .bash-profile defines the bash environment.
The .bashrc can be used to set up shortcuts. You could add a line like like:
alias t='$HOME/todo.sh -d $HOME/todo.cfg'
and then instead of typing
./todo.sh
everytime you type a todo.sh command, like ./todo.sh add "This is my todo", you could type:
t add "This is my todo
so the
alias command specifies a shortcut for commands.
Hope that helps,
Craig
