Question

I want to set up some alias and would like to keep them so I don't have to reset them every time I have a new Terminal open. How can I do that? Would it require modifying hidden files?

EDIT: I'm using Mac, I found a bashrc under /etc, is it the one?

Was it helpful?

Solution

It depends on your shell/system e.g., for bash on Ubuntu check out ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile files.

OTHER TIPS

Yup – you'll need to put it in ~/.bash_profile:

alias ls='ls --color=auto'
