No configuration file ~/.bashrc in Bash.

I have installed Bash on my pfSense v2.3:

[luis@pfSense-ThreepWood ~]$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 4.3.42(1)-release (amd64-portbld-freebsd10.2)

And would like to customize it, but I have found no "~/.bashrc" file:

[luis@pfSense-ThreepWood ~]$ pwd
/home/luis
[luis@pfSense-ThreepWood ~]$ ls -la
total 56
drwxr-xr-x  4 luis  luis   512 Jan 10 00:54 .

drwx------  2 luis  luis   512 Jan  7 14:16 .ssh
drwxr-xr-x  2 luis  luis   512 Jan  7 14:07 Temporal

So I have created it and added my PS1 customization command (that works OK from shell):

nano ~/.bashrc
export PS1="${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[00;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ "

But, after logout (and even after reboot), the prompt has not changed, so I suppose the "~/.bashrc" file is ignored.

How can I do to make this file to be read?
If this is not the proper file in this version of Bash, where may I customize my shell (things like adding alias or environment variables)?

(Should this question go to a generic FreeBSD forum, or can it fit here? I don't know if this an issue only for pfSense)

A general FreeBSD forum would be better for that but it's not a really complicated issue.

It depends on how you login and/or how the shell starts. Try making .bash_profile instead, or linking the two.

@jimp:

Indeed, this worked:

$ mv .bashrc .bash_profile

I will anyway ask on a FreeBSD forum and post the link here, for those interested.
Thanks you.
