Open gnome-terminal without sourcing .bashrc

bash, gnome-terminal, linux, terminal

Solution

You can run `bash` without sourcing `.bashrc`:

bash --norc

Then it is just a matter of creating a `gnome-terminal` profile which runs that `bash` command, rather than the default.

Problem

Since my `.bashrc` contains a lot of aliases, variables and lot of other stuff that changes the behavior of bash, from time to time I want to run `gnome-terminal` without sourcing it. I wonder if there's some easy way how to do this without the need to temporarily rename `.bashrc` or delete its contents.
