command line - bash syntax error near token `fi' - Ask Ubuntu


when open terminal, following 2 lines

bash: /home/kyle/.bashrc: line 119: syntax error near unexpected token `fi'  bash: /home/kyle/.bashrc: line 119: `fi' 

i don't know why started or if it's normal. causes syntax error , how fix it?

when open new terminal window system starts new instance of shell. in case bash (bourne again shell)

when bash starts reads bunch of startup scripts configure various things prompt, colors, etc. 1 of these scripts file .bashrc in home directory. more info on check what .bashrc file , do?

more info on bash scripting: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/beginners/bashscripting

in case file has been edited , not valid bash script. therefore error message line 119: syntax error near unexpected token...

that why steeldriver asked post content of file see wrong it.

that file optional. if want rename else - .bashrc.old example , open new window. error messages gone prompts, colous , other shell customisations gone too.
