Answer 1

You can also put .gdbinit in your debugging folder, this makes more applicable for debugging different apps. GDB will automatically load ./.gdbinit for current debugging.

Answer 2

You need to create a new file called .gdbinit - put it in your home directory. Now every time gdb starts it will execute the commands in this file. ".gdbinit" is a file you can drop in your home directory that gdb will parse when gdb launches, either from the command line or from within Xcode.

Answer 3

You can do

nano ~/.gdbinit

modify your file and save it. Verify the changes with cat ~/.gdbinit
