Share .bashrc

Suggested by Dave Bradford, it turns out you can share .bashrc files between computers and use symbolic link.

Rename the file:
mv ~/.bashrc ~/bashrc.bak

Dropbox example:
ln -s ~/Dropbox/.bashrc ~/.bashrc

where the .bashrc is stored in the root Dropbox folder.

Git example:
ln -s ~/workspace/myGitRepo/.bashrc ~/.bashrc

Test and once complete remember to remove the backup.
