Re: [GENERAL] ~/.psqlrc file is ignored [solved: $HOME/.psqlrc]

'Solution,' for anyone else encountering this issue (Arch Linux PostgreSQL
install ...).

TLDR: symlink ~/.psqlrc to  postgres $HOME/.psqlrc

-----------------------------------------------------

[victoria@victoria ~]$ echo $HOME
    /home/victoria

[victoria@victoria ~]$ ls -la .psq*
    -rw-r--r-- 1 victoria victoria 3.9K Jul 17 10:42 .psqlrc

[victoria@victoria ~]$ pg
  [sudo -u postgres -i]
  [sudo] password for victoria:

[postgres@victoria ~]$ echo $HOME
    /var/lib/postgres

[postgres@victoria ~]$ ln -s  /home/victoria/.psqlrc  /var/lib/postgres/

[postgres@victoria ~]$ ls -la .psqlrc
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 postgres postgres 22 Jul 20 08:10 .psqlrc ->
/home/victoria/.psqlrc

[postgres@victoria ~]$ psql
