Handling ".bashrc Permission Denied" Error in WSL Bash

When opening Bash after restarting Windows, .bashrc may sometimes not execute. Introducing how to handle the “.bashrc: Permission denied” error in WSL Linux Bash command line.

$ ls -al ~

drwxr-xr-x 1 yuis yuis  4096 Aug 12 07:50 .
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root  4096 Sep 30  2017 ..

-rwxr-xr-x 1 yuis yuis  5272 Aug 12 07:50 .bashrc.bak

When checking permissions, somehow the permissions have disappeared. Why…

cd ~ && sudo chmod 755 .bashrc && sudo chmod 755 .env && bash

With this, change the permissions, open it anew, and if you can confirm that .bashrc is being loaded, you’re good to go.
