# Transferring
I'm going to [SCaLEx23](https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/23x). I don't tend to use my laptop as a primary device so I was transferring *everything*.
I literally can't live without my aliases and shortcuts so in my rush I somehow moved a copy of my `.bashrc` into `~/.bashrc.d`. Which doesn't sound like a big deal except I have this in my main file.
```bash
if [ -d ~/.bashrc.d ]; then
for rc in ~/.bashrc.d/*.sh; do
if [ -f "$rc" ]; then
. "$rc"
fi
done
fi
```
Why load everything in? Because I'm lazy.
I find out on next login that I'm stuck in a login-loop. Getting in through TTY3 check the thousands of SDDM error crashing messages in `journalctl` and remove the rogue file.
# The Fix
I've since moved everything to only loop over items ending in `.sh` to avoid this unwanted files being sourced.
