How do I reset default .bashrc (debian wheezy)? [closed]

Question

I messed up my .bashrc file. How do I get to the default one that was initially created with my home directory?

Whoops. Shoulda done some more research. Here is the answer for posterity: linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/… it's in /etc/skel/.bashrc in my particular case — Dmitri, Aug 23 '11 at 5:45

I do not remember the exact commands, but there is a way to see which files do belong to a package, like bash....

Look for bashrc.sample or bashrc.example or bashrc.default and just copy it to your home directory..
