How to make 'non-git' aliases permanent on git bash

Question

I'm scratching my head as to how to make my non-git aliases permanent. I know that, in order to make my git aliases permanent, I simply have to add them to '.gitconfig', e.g.:

[alias]
  st = status
  ci = commit
  br = branch

However, what about non-git.. e.g.

alias codePath='cd /c/code/pathToMyProject'

I have a number of conveniences like this one, which die with the terminal (sadly).

I'm running git bash on windows.

Thanks.

Edit a file .bashrc in your home directory. Interactive shells run the commands in that when they start.
