3. curl "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/flatiron-school/dotfiles/master/linux_bash_profile" -o "$HOME/.bash_profile" (this will overwrite existing bash profile, so back up if you want to)
4. curl "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/flatiron-school/dotfiles/master/linux_gitconfig" -o "$HOME/.gitconfig" then nano $HOME/.gitconfig and edit what needs to be edited (github username and github email in a few places)

To date everyone I have seen who has had an issue with setting up Learn on Ubuntu has been stuck with /netrc make sure the file exists and has appropriate permissions. There have been a few people who have deleted it and had it be recreated in a working format.

Hope that helps!
