Where's .bashrc for root?

I know it's not best practice, but on my dev system I login as root. What's the equivalent of the .bashrc file so I can alias some functions?
I've found the /etc/bash.bashrc & /etc/bash.bashrc.local but I'm not sure where to plop my commands.
Running x86_64 SUSE.
thanks, mjb.

Probably best to put them in ~/.bashrc . It seems root doesn't get the normal ones by default in some distros, but you just cp /etc/skel/.bash* ~ to fix that.

@mjb That's where new accounts get their default home directory. Theuseraddtool copies files from there. It is otherwise not used. You can add and alter stuff in there if you want every newly created user to have a different set of files. Think of it as the new user home dir template.

How about the home dir of root that is /root/?
From some aspects, root is just another user (just better, and allowed more).
root has a home dir, but it is not like the other users in /home/,
but simply /root/ so root:s .bashrc is therefore /root/.bashrc
The ones in /etc is system specific settings for all users, including root.
Thanks to grawity to point out that you can use ~root points to the root home dir,
regardless of where it is.
You can test that with
$> echo ~root
/root
So even thou /root will work on 99% on the systems out there ~root is probably more portable and will probably work on 100%.
~root/.bashrc

The root home directory isn't in /home because in some *nix systems, /home is on a separate partition from the system drive and is not necessarily mounted.

Instead of using /root/.bashrc try using /root/.profile — it's the same thing, just a different name.
Also, if you are using su to get into root it may not be reading the .bashrc or .profile
– just issuing su will not run the login scripts. try doing
su -

Normally the .bashrc file for the root user should be there: /root/.bashrc
If it is not the case, you can copy the 2 following files into /root, then you can edit the .bashrc file as you want.
cp /etc/skel/.bash_profile /root
cp /etc/skel/.bashrc /root

The similar topic: Why suse doesn't have .bash_profile or .bashrc for root user
SuSe use /etc/bash.bashrc file to manage the environment. It's not indicated to add configs on this file, becouse when the server get updated, you'll lost your personal configuration.
You can create an archieve named bash.bashrc.local on /etc. The system will load any instruction found on this file, and then search for the default conf and execute both.
# vi /etc/bash.bashrc.local
Have fun!

/etc/bash.bashrc for SuSE Linux PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE /etc/bash.bashrc There are chances that your changes will be lost during system upgrades. Instead use /etc/bash.bashrc.local for bash or /etc/ksh.kshrc.local for ksh or /etc/zsh.zshrc.local for the zsh or /etc/ash.ashrc.local for the plain ash bourne shell for your local settings, favourite global aliases, VISUAL and EDITOR variables, etc ...

I looked here because on my (64-bit) Slackware 14.2, logging into root does most certainly NOT source /root/.bashrc. It DOES source /home/user/.bashrc on loggin to user account.
There is no /etc/bash.bashrc, or any other bash files in /etc.
Nor is there any such directory as /etc/skel apparently, in slack.

Normally the .bashrc file for the root user should be there: /root/.bashrc
If it is not the case, you can copy the 2 following files into /root, then you can edit the .bashrc file as you want.
cp /etc/skel/.bash_profile /root
cp /etc/skel/.bashrc /root

The similar topic: Why suse doesn't have .bash_profile or .bashrc for root user
SuSe use /etc/bash.bashrc file to manage the environment. It's not indicated to add configs on this file, becouse when the server get updated, you'll lost your personal configuration.
You can create an archieve named bash.bashrc.local on /etc. The system will load any instruction found on this file, and then search for the default conf and execute both.
# vi /etc/bash.bashrc.local
Have fun!

/etc/bash.bashrc for SuSE Linux PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE /etc/bash.bashrc There are chances that your changes will be lost during system upgrades. Instead use /etc/bash.bashrc.local for bash or /etc/ksh.kshrc.local for ksh or /etc/zsh.zshrc.local for the zsh or /etc/ash.ashrc.local for the plain ash bourne shell for your local settings, favourite global aliases, VISUAL and EDITOR variables, etc ...

I looked here because on my (64-bit) Slackware 14.2, logging into root does most certainly NOT source /root/.bashrc. It DOES source /home/user/.bashrc on loggin to user account.
There is no /etc/bash.bashrc, or any other bash files in /etc.
Nor is there any such directory as /etc/skel apparently, in slack.

It's always nice to see some links to documentation.
