So I was working with Bash on Unbuntu on Windows in order to learn Linux, so I attempted to edit the .bashrc file as a way of learning. To do this I went into the root folder in my C: drive and opened the .bashrc in VS Code. I added one line into the end of the file.
When I tried to run ubuntu I got this error (even though it still works), and the error still persists even after I went in to try undo what I did before. What is wrong?
What is wrong?
As you mentioned that you went to root folder in C: drive and opened .bashrc in VSCode, I am assuming that the VSCode you just used was installed on Windows, not on WSL. Now I would like to refer you to a blog post on the official blog of Microsoft that explains the exact situation that you have encountered. This will help too.
To revert the changes, I would suggest you to open the .bashrc in the same way you did previously and copy all its content to a different file say, on your desktop. Remove .bashrc file. Now open a text editor in WSL preferably vim or gedit, make a file with name .bashrc, save it in the home directory and copy all the text that you saved on your desktop to the new .bashrc and it is all done.
