Say for example you are always performing 'ls -l' well then put that as an alias as 'ls' to save some time. In the .bash_profile put alias ls='ls --l'. Now everytime you type ls the ls -l command is performed. There are TONS of other things that can be put in the .bash_profile that can make life easy. Lesson learned is to backup that file before you upgrade or reinstall. If you have a lot of mods and they get wiped out you will be an unhappy uberdork.
