git-bash generate default .bashrc

Usually, there are .bashrc, .bash_profile, .inputrc etc. files on linux systems and they are not empty by default. They are also present when you install cygwin on Windows and, also, non-empty.

But git-bash installer doesn't create them by default.

Is it possible to trigger generation of the default .bashrc, .bash_profile, .inputrc in git-bash environment?

I know that generation for .bash_profile is triggered if you manually create empty .bashrc, but is it possible to trigger generation for both of them simultaneously, so both of them turn out to not be empty? And what about the default .inputrc?

In the installation folder for the git system there is miniature UNIX tree including a /etc/ folder in which the default configuration files are located.

I found the default .bashrc on my installation as

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\Git\etc\bash.bashrc

and I believe this is the default location, or at least close to, for that. I also saw profile and inputrc in there. So copy those to your home directory and then start modifying!
