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](https://meta.discourse.org/t/beginners-guide-to-install-discourse-on-macos-for-development/15772) 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…
1. `git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse.git ~/discourse`
2. `cd ~/discourse`
3. `source ~/.bashrc`
Step 3 kicked off the infinite loop I’ve seen the past few days. This is what it looks like.
Does anyone have a solution? I’d love to avoid deleting everything and starting over.

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

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

If you can’t find `.bashrc` . . . wait. You don’t need to source `.bashrc` since it gets run when you log in.
I recommend that you punt on that and use [Install Discourse for development using Docker](https://meta.discourse.org/t/beginners-guide-to-install-discourse-for-development-using-docker/102009).

Perfect. Thank you, sir!
