Installer modifies user's .bashrc without asking or warning the user #19

Description

@KirillKryukov

Running GTZ installer "https://gtz.io/gtz_latest.run" modifies user's .bashrc file. This intrusion into user's configuration happens silently, without asking, warning or notifying the user.

Few reasons why it's a bad idea:

  1. It's extremely rude to silently mess with user's configuration files.
  2. User may prefer other shell such as zsh (please don't get any ideas).
  3. User may prefer to run gtz using full path, or configure their own aliases or symlinks.
  4. User may already have another command with the same name.

Fortunately && source ~/.bashrc in installation instructions gives it away.

This happens as of GTZ version "PROFESSIONAL-2.1.3-V-2020-03-18 07:11:20"
