How to detect the OS from a Bash script

0 votes
I would like to keep my .bashrc and .bash_login files in version control so that I can use them between all the computers I use. The problem is I have some OS specific aliases so I was looking for a way to determine if the script is running on Mac OS X, Linux or Cygwin.

What is the proper way to detect the operating system in a Bash script?
