Howdy, dipping back into Discourse development after a long divergence into learning Ember.js. As I’ve hacked away over the past few days trying to remember how I did all this back in August/September I’ve opened terminal to find a script running on what looked like an infinite loop. Finally decided to go back to the Beginners Guide to Install Discourse on macOS for Development yesterday. Kept running into a brick wall so restored a back-up of my droplet and decided to start again in the morning. Just opened terminal and had to ctrl+c again to stop the loop. Tried to ssh root and it threw another Permission denied so I decided to get Discourse going local again. I proceeded with… git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse.git ~/discourse cd ~/discourse source ~/.bashrc Step 3 kicked off the infinite loop I’ve seen the past few days. This is what it looks like. [bashrc] Does anyone have a solution? I’d love to avoid deleting everything and starting over.

Have all hidden files visible and it doesn’t seem to exist… which is puzzling.

If you can’t find .bashrc I recommend that you punt on that and use Install Discourse for development using Docker.

Stuck in infinite loop in Mac terminal after source ~/.bashrc

You’ll need to look in .bashrc and see what it’s doing.
