i dont look much into non bash , .. i d understand the logic .. but chats
dont look as good as they ve been in y2002 .. so cant

anyhow i have this simple setup

out=xmbashuserin
then move existing files away
print ' exec sudo -i -- "$@" \n ' into $out
and ln -s it to .bashrc and .bash_profile

this is for setting up wsl debian for my personal usage ..
1 make current user sudo nopasswd by printf simple to sudoers.d/$USER
2 replace bash inits with the own
3 run a thing that updates my sources.list
4 use another thing to upgrade or install uninstall search etc

all four all scripts
thank to goodness for coding languages

i gotta report here , i had some similiar setup somewhen , where i
symlinked those files , and somewhen later bash malfucted on some wrong
files , those .. eg ' some ln -s ed bashrc / profile made it malfunct '
.. half distant memories

The idea, in this case, would be to put all of the shell-portable stuff
