bashrc files or any files which has your environment variables or even other data which you want in them, for example you can have three . bashrc files at your home directory.
bashrc file is a script file that's executed when a user logs in. The file itself contains a series of configurations for the terminal session. This includes setting up or enabling: coloring, completion, shell history, command aliases, and more.
Download and source the OpenStack RC fileOn the Project tab, open the Compute tab and click Access & Security. On the API Access tab, click Download OpenStack RC File and save the file. The filename will be of the form PROJECT-openrc.sh where PROJECT is the name of the project for which you downloaded the file.
Add source /whatever/file (or . /whatever/file) into .bashrc where you want the other file included.
