Why there are platform dependent configuration file selection?

[tbhaxor]

I see, there are platform dependent configurations for the bash-it entry point. For example in Darwin (macOS) it's ~/.bash_profile and for other os it's ~/.bashrc file.

bash-it/install.sh

Lines 189 to 196 in 4dbe92e

	case $OSTYPE in
	darwin*)
	CONFIG_FILE=.bash_profile
	;;
	*)
	CONFIG_FILE=.bashrc
	;;
	esac

Point is why aren't we using only one file, that is ~/.bashrc?

Based on the information provided here and dynamic module enable / disable feature that should allow bash to read and source the config on every terminal, I advice to use the rc file instead.

I agree 100% and have open PRs to address this, most directly #2039.
