I am a little new to this area on my Mac. Yesterday I made my .bash_profile without any problems. Now, when I open it, textedit says that it is locked and does not allow me to unlock it. I tried using chmod 644 to change permissions, but that didn't help.
What am I missing here?
Give yourself write permissions for this file:
/usr/bin/sudo /bin/chmod u+rwx /Users/yourusername/.bash_profile /usr/bin/sudo /usr/sbin/chown yourusername /Users/yourusername/.bash_profile
