Customizing bash on AIX

AIX is really different from most distros I am used to. I am trying to set up my .bashrc so I did this in the file. I noticed when I ssh into the server or use the bash command for a new shell it was being ignored.

Code:

#-------------------------------------------------------------
# Source global definitions (if any)
#-------------------------------------------------------------


if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
      . /etc/bashrc   # --> Read /etc/bashrc, if present.
fi
# Set Vim as my default editor
export EDITOR=vim

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/nimsoft

echo "Loading /u/user/.bashrc..."

Then I added the first one to my .profile. Is the first one better or the second one better? I have seen both used. When I login with ssh .bashrc seems to be working. Is there a better way to do this? When I use the bash command for a new shell my .bashrc is being ignored. Can I get some recommendations on how to handle this?

Code:

if [ -s ~/.bashrc ]; then
    source ~/.bashrc;
fi

if [[ -f ~/.bashrc ]] ; then
	. ~/.bashrc
fi

After figuring this out I would like to push this out to all of our AIX servers. How would I do this without screwing up the ksh users? I prefer bash and ksh is the default shell.

git-peek-remote

GIT-PEEK-REMOTE(1)						    Git Manual							GIT-PEEK-REMOTE(1)

NAME

       git-peek-remote - List the references in a remote repository

SYNOPSIS

       git peek-remote [--upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>] [<host>:]<directory>

DESCRIPTION

       This command is deprecated; use git ls-remote instead.

OPTIONS

       --upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>
	   Use this to specify the path to git-upload-pack on the remote side, if it is not found on your $PATH. Some installations of sshd
	   ignores the user's environment setup scripts for login shells (e.g. .bash_profile) and your privately installed git may not be found on
	   the system default $PATH. Another workaround suggested is to set up your $PATH in ".bashrc", but this flag is for people who do not
	   want to pay the overhead for non-interactive shells, but prefer having a lean .bashrc file (they set most of the things up in
	   .bash_profile).

       <host>
	   A remote host that houses the repository. When this part is specified, git-upload-pack is invoked via ssh.

       <directory>
	   The repository to sync from.
