My ~./bashrc aliasbuilder nerfed the terminal loading #6

What symptom did you see (attaching screenshots as necessary)?

Loading a terminal threw an error as it tried to find an alias "cp" to unalias. I called unalias cp through my aliasbuilder file that I ran as source in bashrc. Apparently cp -i doesn't exist as an alias anymore, so it could not find it and resulted in an infinite loop on terminal load. Essentially, I couldn't use the terminal to change the bashrc (although I found an alternative by overwriting), but even then, overwriting didn't work because c9 kept trying the oldest configuration.

Breaking .bashrc may break your IDE. .bashrc no longer persists, so restarting the IDE should fix.
