Defaults

The tools provided by GNU coreutils are prefixed with the character 'g' by default to distinguish them from the BSD commands. If you want to use the GNU tools by default, add this directory to the front of your PATH: /opt/local/libexec/gnubin/

To use bash completion, add the following lines at the end of your .bash_profile:

  if [ -f /opt/local/etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh ]; then
. /opt/local/etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh
fi

The port bash-completion >=2.0 requires bash >=4.1; please make sure you are using /opt/local/bin/bash by changing the preferences of your terminal accordingly.

To start the gpg-agent on startup, run:

launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.macports.gpg-agent.plist
