docs should explain how to setup a local bashrc

[zingale]

A new account on polaris has no dot files, but often we need to set environment variables for our software builds in a local .bashrc. Looking at /etc/bash.bashrc, it seems like the way to do this is to create a .bash.expert file where we can place our local variables. This should be documented somewhere, since I imagine this is a common issue. Or if there is another preferred file, then that should be explained.

Is there any problem with simply creating a ~/.bashrc? I maintain a complete set of zshrc, zshenv, bash_login, bashrc, ... in my $HOME without any issues. No need to use .bash.expert.

Hi Kyle, Is this resolved or does someone need to do something??

Closing for now.
