.bashrc is run automatically at shell startup so doesn't normally need execute permission. If you gave it execute permission then ran it it would run in a subshell so none of the settings it confures what affect the normal environment, therefore if you want to re-run it you need to do ". .bashrc" without the quotes and doing that it doesn't need execute permission.

User changes usually go in ~/.bashrc, not /etc/bash.bashrc but /bin will be part of your $PATH anyway. Google's instructions suggest putting repo in ~/bin which if your account users the Ubuntu default version of ~/.profile will also be in your $PATH

okay so why is bash not finding the repo command? (sorry for any stupid questions all new to this!)

hmm nevermind a reboot of my system seems to have sorted it :P

will have more questions for next stages of build for sure!
