I don’t know bash scripting

if [ -d ~/.bashrc.d ]; then
	for rc in ~/.bashrc.d/*; do
		if [ -f "$rc" ]; then
			. "$rc"
		fi
	done

I asked chatgpt and it said this is non standard? There is no bashrc.d directory on my home folder, I have uncommented the lines for now but dont know if this is benign or malignant

    Then it should have no effect.

    This is just a nice way to define file-discrete .rc scripts. Like, maybe you have one for shell stuff, one for your custom collection of command aliases, one for initializing pyenv+pyenv-virtualenv, etc. That way, you have domain-constrained .rcs, and it’s easier to scan through things to see if something funny is going on / is broken or whatever.
