Where is .bash_profile?

Question

I want to put new aliases to my .bash_profile file, but I cannot find this file.
Where is it supposed to be?

The title should probably read .bash_profile with the dot. — H2ONaCl, Dec 11 '12 at 8:39

It's a hidden file, located in your home folder:

~/.bash_profile

(the ~ expands to your home directory. If your username is user, the result would be: /home/user/.bash_profile).
Since it's an hidden file, you have to make it visible. To do it in Nautilus go to the "View" menu and check "Show hidden files" (or press the shortcut Ctrl + H).
If you are using Kubuntu with Dolphin, you have to press Ctrl + . to toggle the visibility of files.

The Keys Ctrl-H toggles the show/hide hidden files also. – Ice Mar 6 '11 at 17:15

Annotation Type	Description
Deprecated	A program element annotated @Deprecated is one that programmers are discouraged from using, typically because it is dangerous, or because a better alternative exists.
Override	Indicates that a method declaration is intended to override a method declaration in a supertype.
SafeVarargs	A programmer assertion that the body of the annotated method or constructor does not perform potentially unsafe operations on its varargs parameter.
SuppressWarnings	Indicates that the named compiler warnings should be suppressed in the annotated element (and in all program elements contained in the annotated element).
