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 decide…

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 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
